Stealing newspaper? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theft

This clue is a double definition.

'stealing' is the first definition.
('theft' can be a synonym of 'stealing')

'newspaper?' is the second definition.
(The FT - Financial Times)

(Other definitions for theft that I've seen before include "Dishonest taking of others' property" , "Illegal act of taking" , "Wrongly taking" , "Pilfering" , "Act of stealing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
