Type of thief (10)

Ross

I think it could be either:

pickpocket

shoplifter

'type of thief' is the definition.
(I know that shoplifter is a type of thief)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for shoplifter that I've seen before include "Criminal (in a retail context)" , "Thieving customer" , "Thief" , "Robber" , "A petty criminal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
