Steal from a Cairo bank (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rob

'steal' is the definition.
(robbing is a kind of stealing)

'from a cairo bank' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ROB' can be found hidden inside 'cairo bank'.

(Other definitions for rob that I've seen before include "Steal from (someone)" , "boy's name" , "Take without consent from the owner" , "Take something without the owner's consent" , "Steal violently" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
