  …escalating pattern of criminal conduct. Here the record discloses not only a pattern of increasing criminal conduct, but also an increase in the nature and severity of the [*1046] crimes. See Keys v. State, 500 So. 2d 134 (Fla.1986); Gales v. State, 515 So. 2d 431 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987); Ballard v. State, 501 So. 2d 1285 (Fla. 4th DCA), review denied, 488 So. 2d 67 (Fla.1986).

State, 504 So. 2d 548 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987) (escalation of criminal activity is shown by an increase in the nature and severity of the crimes); see also Gales v.
