Illegal burning (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arson

'illegal burning' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for arson that I've seen before include "criminal fire-raising" , "Pyromaniac crime" , "Act of a pyromaniac" , "serious offence" , "Criminal activity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the New York Times, the Evening Standard and the USA Today.
