Pull in and stop (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arrest

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'pull in' is the first definition.
(arresting is a kind of pulling in)

'stop' is the second definition.
(arrest is a kind of stop)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for arrest that I've seen before include "Take into custody as police do" , "Collar" , "Stop - detain" , "Seize and take into custody" , "Cause to stop" .)
