The obligation of the highway robber who repents

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding those who rob on the highway, if they repent.

Answer:
Yes. If the highway robber repents, should he inform anyone of his repentance, or turn himself in? Because he may be arrested after his repentance, and his statement that he had previously repented may not be accepted. If he repents, Allah accepts his repentance, so he should not reveal himself. If he is arrested, he informs them that he is a repentant person, and his case is examined. Yes.
