E-fit organised to catch hard criminal (5)
I believe the answer is:
thief
'criminal' is the definition.
(I know that thief is a type of criminal)
'e-fit organised to catch hard' is the wordplay.
'organised' is an anagram indicator.
'to catch' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'hard' becomes 'h' (abbreviation used in pencil classifications).
'e'+'fit'='efit'
'efit' anagrammed gives 'tief'.
'tief' enclosing 'h' is 'THIEF'.
(Other definitions for thief that I've seen before include "One who steals" , "One with taking ways" , "Afternoon break" , "Criminal" , "See 3" .)
