Nick has restriction lifted (3)
I believe the answer is:
nab
'nick' is the definition.
(both can mean steal)
'restriction lifted' is the wordplay.
'restriction' becomes 'ban' (a ban is a restriction on something).
'lifted' says the letters should be written in reverse (going up in down clue).
'ban' back-to-front is 'NAB'.
'has' is the link.
(Other definitions for nab that I've seen before include "Cop" , "Capture (slang)" , "Pinch" , "Catch (a felon)" , "Take" .)
