Crime of stolen goods receiver (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

offence

'crime' is the definition.
(offence is a kind of crime)

'of stolen goods receiver' is the wordplay.
'stolen goods receiver' becomes 'fence' (I've seen this in another clue).
'of'+'fence'='OFFENCE'

(Other definitions for offence that I've seen before include "Attack - crime" , "An illegal act, cause of annoyance" , "illegality" , "misdemeanor" , "The handler" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
