Pinch new tales (5)
I believe the answer is:
steal
'pinch' is the definition.
(I know that pinch is a more specific form of steal)
'new tales' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'tales' is an anagram of 'STEAL'.
(Other definitions for steal that I've seen before include "pirate" , "Pilfer" , "Take without permission" , "Take illegally" , "Whip" .)
