Is the new bank job in America? (5)
I believe the answer is:
heist
'bank job in america?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is the new' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'the'='isthe'
'isthe' with letters rearranged gives 'HEIST'.
(Other definitions for heist that I've seen before include "Robbery (mainly US)" , "crime?" , "criminal activity" , "Mugging" , "Audacious robbery" .)
