Crime committed by stolen goods receiver (7)

I believe the answer is:

offence

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'crime' is the definition.
(offence is a kind of crime)

'committed by stolen goods receiver' is the wordplay.
'committed by stolen goods' becomes 'of' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'receiver' becomes 'fence' (I've seen this before).
'of'+'fence'='OFFENCE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for offence that I've seen before include "Transgression" , "misdemeanor" , "Crime; insult" , "An act punishable by law" , "Cause of annoyance - crime" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
