There was recently another crime in Chiriquí. I understand that a man was killed in Alanje. I could not understand all of what was said on the news, but maybe some of the Panamanian readers can add something.
This is just another sign that crime is increasing in Panama and this must be stopped. The locals [...]

Recently, I posted about a couple house invasions that have occurred in Chiriquí. I didn’t do this to create panic or to cause fear in moving to Panama. I did post it to raise awareness.

My house was robbed while I slept. A house guest slept in another
bedroom. There are some real professionals working the gringo houses.
Since the robbers took half my stuff, I’m gonna sell the rest.

Our friend in Bugaba was robbed, beaten nearly to death and tortured for three hours (by two masked men) for the combination to his safe (which he was of course willing to give, but explaining how to work a combination lock with a language barrier is nearly impossible). He was tied up, kicked and slashed [...]

I stopped in a local panderia this morning and happened to pick up a current issue of the Bajareque Times. It had two articles on the crime wave that is increasing in Chiriquí. The first article was entitled, “Action Wanted To Control Crime Wave”. I couldn’t find it in the web version of Bajareque [...]
