Take into custody (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arrest

'take into custody' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for arrest that I've seen before include "Take into legal custody" , "Apprehend; detain" , "Stop - take into custody" , "Stop or slow down the progress of" , "Catch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the Newsday, the Universal, The Mirror, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Irish Times.
