move in on
Approach to take
Move in on is to advance toward something with intent to take or claim it.
The phrase suggests encroachment—moving into territory that belongs to someone else: Rival gangs moved in on their turf, He's moving in on your girlfriend.
It can also mean closing distance to confront or attack: Police moved in on the suspect.
