Barrier to a dodgy dealer (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fence

This clue is a double definition.

'barrier' is the first definition.
(I know that fence is a type of barrier)

'dodgy dealer' is the second definition.
(trader of stolen goods)

'to a' is the link.

(Other definitions for fence that I've seen before include "Paling; criminal receiver" , "crook" , "Receiver of stolen goods" , "Railing" , "With blade, fight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
