Yes, if we are talking about criminals who definitely used a road to escape.
“This way” etc can refer to literally any type of landscape. So, if the criminals escaped across a farm, or along the beach, or anywhere where there is not a road – then, your sentence about a road is going to look wrong.

They all essentially mean the same thing with different nuances.
•The criminals passed by this way.
•The criminals took this road.
These ones give the idea that there is a strong lead on where the criminals have been.
•The criminals went this way.
•The criminals went on this way.
These ones are a little more vague and general since all that is known is a direction
It just comes down to what facts or suggestions you want to express, otherwise they all are the same.
