Photographs stolen in seconds (5)
I believe the answer is:
shots
'photographs' is the definition.
(shot is a kind of photograph)
'stolen in seconds' is the wordplay.
'stolen' becomes 'hot' (stolen goods are 'hot').
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'seconds' becomes 'ss' (an abbreviation for seconds written twice).
'hot' going inside 'ss' is 'SHOTS'.
(Other definitions for shots that I've seen before include "Gunfire -- attempts" , "See 2" .)
