Yes, they just arrested one and put him in jail for killing a burglar. See Mr Winner's website:

It looks very infected with tons of friction between locals and foreigners. It's going to get worse probably.
Doesn't look like a very peaceful place - that's too bad.Originally Posted by Contrail
theres other places in panama, you know .
Oh yes, definitely! Real estate in Puerto Armuelles seemed to be really cheap and I was curious as to why. That area seemed to have alot going for it; beaches, close to David and the mountains as well as Costa Rica. I was concerned about the rumor of a pipeline or refinery or something along those lines but it appears that crime might be the real concern. 2 BR ocean view, single family house for under 50k..hmm.. something can't be right.
It is a bit of a dump, also beware of anything too close to the Costa Rican border as foreigners can't own land in that area, (don't count on your realtor or attorney mentioning that.)
they just found around 900 million barrels of oil in the country so your concern about a refinery might not be far off
I was aware of the restriction concerning foreigners owning land in that area. Since it is a bit of dump and there are some other concerns, I think I may skip my visit to that area. Don't think I will miss anything. Back to Pedasi, I suppose!
no pedasi is terrible , we have that pothole on main street . simply unmanagable LOL
Oh the horrors! LOL - do you live in Pedasi? Did they ever build any of those developments? Everything seemed to be "an artist rendering" when I was there in January.
well i live just outside pedasi on my little finca , i would not be caught dead living in any of those developments out on the beach . , they are building some and finding some chumps to buy a few , but thats a long story over a cold beer , and speaking of beer , you know it is the law in pedasi that newcomers have to buy beer until someone else new moves in . and the coldest beer in pedasi just went up to 60 cents , so bring lots of loot , i can drink about 3 on a hot day LOL
