How the clue works
The definition is They're held by Bonnie & Clyde and Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid — the & symbols sitting inside those names are literally ampersands. For the wordplay, before noon gives you AM, each gives you PER, and then you need SANDS, which comes from tucking AND inside SS (the outer letters — the "case" — of sheriffs).
