Taken illegally (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stolen

'taken illegally' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for stolen that I've seen before include "Hot item" , "Purloined in Solent" , "Purloined or embezzled" , "Nicked" , "Taken without right" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Times, the USA Today, The Star Tribune, the Newsday.com and The Sun.
