Criminal type who might hold up a store (10)
I believe the answer is:
shoplifter
'criminal type' is the definition.
(someone who robs shops)
'might hold up a store' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'store' could be 'shop' (synonyms) and 'shop' is present in the answer.
'hold up' could be 'lift' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'lift' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'er' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'who' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shoplifter that I've seen before include "guilty party" , "Criminal (in a retail context)" , "Robber" , "A petty criminal" , "Thieving customer" .)
