This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for filch that I've seen before include "Rob" , "Pinch, steal" , "Nick" , "Make off with what belongs to others" , "Pilfer" .)
'take' is the definition.
(stealing is a kind of taking)
'wrong way' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'way' could be 'st' (abbreviation for street) and 'st' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'eal' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' acts as a link.
