Raids backfiring, say, Vice Squad's leader (5)
I believe the answer is:
loots
'raids' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't understand how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for loots that I've seen is " Steals".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
