Pick up, after tips, the others (6)
I believe the answer is:
arrest
'pick up' is the definition.
(I know that pick up can be written as arrest)
'after tips the others' is the wordplay.
'tips' means to remove the middle letters (just the outer letters of the world).
'the others' becomes 'rest' (other people are the rest).
'after' with its centre removed is 'ar'.
'ar'+'rest'='ARREST'
(Other definitions for arrest that I've seen before include "Stop - detain" , "Stop - take into custody" , "Take into custody as police do" , "Take into legal custody" , "Stop, check (progress)" .)
