Caught entering, the padre went out and got a policeman (6)
I believe the answer is:
redcap
'policeman' is the definition.
(nickname for member of the Royal Military Police)
'caught entering the padre went' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'entering' is an insertion indicator.
'went' indicates an anagram ('go' can mean move).
'padre' with letters rearranged gives 'redap'.
'c' placed inside 'redap' is 'REDCAP'.
'out and got a' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for redcap that I've seen before include "MP" , "bird!" , "Goldfinch" , "Carped (anag)" , "Member of the military police" .)
