Holiday at home after burglary (5-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

break-in

'burglary' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'holiday at home after' is the wordplay.
'holiday' becomes 'break' (break can mean a holiday or time off).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'break'+'in'='BREAK-IN'

(Another definition for break-in that I've seen is " Criminal entry".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
