A rash of robberies striking Central Florida is believed to be caused by the poor economy. 

"When you have worse economic times generally there is an increase in crime," said Dr. Ross Wolf of the UCF Department of Criminal Justice. "A lot of people find that they can’t make ends meet, so they start looking at other ways to provide income."

The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said they have solved half of their robbery cases since January.

"Crime in general is increasing and not just in Osceola County but throughout Central Florida, statewide and also in the nation," said Twis Lizasuan of the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office. 

"When you have worse economic times generally there is an increase in crime," YA Think ?
