A) People from out of town have caused an increase in crime and traffic accidents.

Explanation:

It does not matter how many people are form out of town or are from the same town that the stores is located in. The amount of incidents shouldn't change. It says "The people who were involved in these incidents were probably from out of town." This tells us that we do not know if they are or are not from in or out of town.
