Crossword Genius

Fool's stolen image (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mug shot

'image' is the definition.
(mug shot is a kind of image)

'fool's stolen' is the wordplay.
'fool's' becomes 'mugs' ('mug' can be a synonym of 'fool').
'stolen' becomes 'hot' (I've seen this before).
'mugs'+'hot'='MUG SHOT'

(Other definitions for mug shot that I've seen before include "Passport photograph?" , "Photograph taken for police records" , "police will want this from him" , "Police photo" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
