LATRON ('tron' = scales for weighing).

'Cracker'/latron is a robber - Chambers doesn't give this directly but has 'crack' in the sense of safe-breaking (and gives 'cracker' as someone who cracks).

Question Author

many thanks profm, I knew ladron was Spanish for burglar, didn't know tron as scales so didn't make the connection

Thanks for that quinol - I've just looked it up in Chambers and it's there with an added 'e' ['ladrone'] but with the Spanish spelling too (bound to crop up one of these days}.
