Hold-up (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

delay

heist

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">holdup</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for heist that I've seen before include "criminal activity" , "Armed hold-up (sl.)" , "Audacious robbery" , "Mugging" , "Armed robbery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the USA Today, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror, The Irish Independent, The Independent, the King Feature Syndicate and The Star Tribune.
