Steal funds (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pocket

I believe this is a double definition.

'steal' is the first definition.
(pocketing is a kind of stealing)

'funds' is the second definition.
(pocket is a kind of funds)

(Other definitions for pocket that I've seen before include "Take unlawfully" , "A ball-catching pouch on a snooker table" , "Pouch in garment" , "Take; isolated patch" , "Small isolated group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
