Nabs (7)

I think it could be either:

arrests

catches

'nabs' is the definition.
('arrest' can be a synonym of 'nab')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for arrests that I've seen before include "Apprehends" , "Stops and takes into custody" , "Checks" , "made by police" , "has a heart attack" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Star Tribune and the Evening Standard.
