Crime in newspaper? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theft

This clue is a double definition.

'crime' is the first definition.
(theft is a kind of crime)

'newspaper?' is the second definition.
(The FT - Financial Times)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for theft that I've seen before include "Job" , "Act of larceny" , "Unlawful taking" , "crime incident" , "Taking offence?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
