Crossword Genius

Sold stolen goods getting confined (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fenced

This clue is a double definition.

'sold stolen goods' is the first definition.
(fence can mean to trade in stolen goods)

'confined' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fenced that I've seen before include "Engaged in sword sport" , "Enclosed with a palisade" , "Enclosed by hedges or engaged in swordplay" , "Enclosed and received stolen goods" , "Fought with swords" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
