If there is no better way then maybe.

The principle here is as follows:

Good deeds and bad deeds will be weighed on the day of judgement and verdict of hell or heaven will depend on the “net worth“.

In the above scenario, stealing will have negative points and helping justice will have positive points. If one believes the positive points are going to be more be he can afford some negative points otherwise it wont be a wise act.

Except for saving human life we are not not sure how to find out which deeds carry more weight than others. Thats why I wont recommend anyone to use the principle of “The end justifies the means“ unless it’s a matter of saving lives.
