I think people became highway men as they were poor, so they decided to start robbing from the sides of the highway. This made them rich as well as wanted! however if they were to be caught they could face been shot or hanged!

People became highwaymen in the past as a way to make a living through robbery. They would target travelers on lonely roads, robbing them of their belongings. Highway robbery was seen as a risky but potentially lucrative way to gain wealth.
