Crossword Genius

Recognise and arrest (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apprehend

This clue is a double definition.

'recognise' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'arrest' is the second definition.
('apprehend' can be a synonym of 'arrest')

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for apprehend that I've seen before include "Arrest (someone)" , "Arrest - grasp" , "Recognise - arrest - suspect" , "Detain" , "nick" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
