This might be a double definition.

'raised only' is the first definition.
'lifted' can be an answer for 'raised' ('lift' can be a synonym of 'raise'). I am unsure of the 'only' bit.

'be stolen' is the second definition.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lifted that I've seen before include "Held up" , "Picked up" , "Informally stole or copies" , "Raised up or informally stolen" , "Raised to a higher position" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
