Hand on shoulder: the thief come for finally (5)
I believe the answer is:
refer
'hand on' is the definition.
(as in referring or handing something on to someone)
'shoulder the thief come for finally' is the wordplay.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letters of 'shoulder the thief come for' are 'REFER'.
(Other definitions for refer that I've seen before include "Consult" , "Turn to (for information, authorisation etc)" , "Direct elsewhere" , "Be relevant (to)" , "Send or direct to a specialist" .)
