Steal fawn (5)

I believe the answer is:

creep

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'steal' is the first definition.
('creep' can be a synonym of 'steal')

'fawn' is the second definition.
('creep' can be a synonym of 'fawn')

(Other definitions for creep that I've seen before include "Slow motion" , "worm" , "Move softly and slowly like slangy servile person" , "Sycophant" , "Slink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
