Bank robbery, e.g.

Answer:

HEIST

Hint:

Think of a carefully planned theft often seen in movies, where the goal is to take something valuable without getting caught. The word starts with the same sound as "high."

Explanation:

"Bank robbery, e.g." hints at a crime where someone steals from a bank, and "heist" is the slang term for that kind of planned theft. The clue uses "e.g." to signal that "bank robbery" is just one example of a heist, which can also include other big, organized thefts like jewelry or museum robberies. It’s a straightforward definition clue—no wordplay—just naming a common word for the crime.
