He is on time for a robbery (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heist

'for a robbery' is the definition.
(heist is a kind of robbery)

'he is on time' is the wordplay.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'he'+'is'+'t'='HEIST'

(Other definitions for heist that I've seen before include "Audacious robbery" , "Robbery, often at gunpoint" , "crime?" , "Armed hold-up (sl.)" , "criminal activity" .)
