Police raid disrupted publication (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

periodical

'publication' is the definition.
(periodical is a kind of publication)

'police raid disrupted' is the wordplay.
'disrupted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'police'+'raid'='policeraid'
'policeraid' is an anagram of 'PERIODICAL'.

(Other definitions for periodical that I've seen before include "Magazine" , "Newspaper" , "Publication" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
