Crossword Genius

Fugitive smuggler (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

runner

I believe this is a double definition.

'fugitive' is the first definition.
(someone on the run)

'smuggler' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for runner that I've seen before include "Horse in a race; shoot" , "Long narrow carpet" , "Athlete - errand boy - strip of cloth" , "Kind of bean is a fast mover" , "Old policeman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
