Crime seen in financial newspaper? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theft

This might be a double definition.

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

'financial newspaper?' is the second definition.
'theft' can be an answer for 'newspaper?' (The FT - Financial Times). I am not sure about the 'financial' bit.

'seen in' is the link.

(Other definitions for theft that I've seen before include "Dishonest taking of others' property" , "Action of stealing" , "Pilfering" , "Burglary" , "Taking of another's property" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
