Robbery (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

theft

heist

'robbery' is the definition.
(I know that heist is a type of robbery)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for heist that I've seen before include "Robbery (mainly US)" , "Audacious robbery" , "Armed robbery" , "crime?" , "bank job in America?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The Telegraph, the King Feature Syndicate, The Independent, The Star Tribune, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Newsday, The Times and The Sun.
