Barriers for receivers of stolen goods (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fences

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'barriers' is the first definition.
(fence is a kind of barrier)

'receivers of stolen goods' is the second definition.
'fences' can be an answer for 'receivers' (receivers of stolen goods). I am unsure of the 'of stolen goods' bit.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fences that I've seen before include "Uses a foil" , "items for negotiation" , "Barriers to keep in or out" , "Wooden barriers" , "Hedges and barriers" .)
