Broken stool in sacks (5)
I believe the answer is:
loots
'sacks' is the definition.
(to sack is to loot or pillage)
'broken stool' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'stool' is an anagram of 'LOOTS'.
'in' is the link.
(Another definition for loots that I've seen is " Steals".)
I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
