Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} links this first violent gesture with the climactic action expressed by ekratēsan {ἐκράτησαν | e-krá-tē-san}, another aorist indicative that portrays a decisive act of seizing.
In context — Mark 14:46
And they laid their hands on Him and seized Him.
