Assuming you're a pastor and a criminal pursed by police runs into your church, would you led him to repent or hand him over to the police.

I am not sure of the meaning of this question of yours.

The criminal on the cross with Jesus Christ was forgiven of His sin by Christ Himself but the thief still needed to face the consequence of His actions according to the law of his day even at that.
