Illegal burning (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arson

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

This is the entire 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 USA Today, the Evening Standard, The Mirror and the New York Times.
