Get caught after police knock off (8)
I believe the answer is:
dislodge
'knock off' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'get caught after police' is the wordplay.
'get caught' becomes 'lodge' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'police' becomes 'dis' (detective inspectors or DIs).
'lodge' after 'dis' is 'DISLODGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dislodge that I've seen before include "Remove from a fixed position" , "Force from an established position" , "Knock or force out of position" , "Knock out of a fixed position" , "Move from a fixed position" .)
