Crossword Genius

Stopped and apprehended (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arrested

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'stopped' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

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

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for arrested that I've seen before include "Checked" , "Stopped or slowed down development" , "Taken into custody or stopped" , "on the way to . . . [PRISON] ?" , "Apprehended by police" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
