I believe the answer is:

black maria

'police van' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for black maria that I've seen before include "vehicle for criminals" , "Nick vehicle" , "Van with criminals" , "Old police van for transporting prisoners" , "Police prisoners' transport" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Independent, the Sydney Morning Herald and the New York Times.
