Steal, admitting zero blame (3)

I believe the answer is:

rob

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

'steal' is the definition.
(I know that rob is a more specific form of steal)

'admitting zero blame' is the wordplay.
'ROB' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rob that I've seen before include "sack" , "Nick" , "Take something without the owner's consent" , "shortened form of man's name" , "Unlawfully take property from (someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
