Production crew left shaken and stirred when robbed by locals

James Bond has a new enemy – Panamanian gangsters who are terrifying the makers of his next film Quantum Of Solace - reports the Daily Star.

007 bosses have started filming in Panama City for the Casino Royale follow-up starring Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko and Gemma Arterton.

But an advance party of crew members were left shaken and stirred when they were robbed by locals.

The film-makers then asked a local gang for help, a move which only enraged a rival mob who themselves vowed to target the movie team.

So Bond chiefs also tried to make peace with the second gang – although muggings and theft of equipment has continued.

They have also put local police on the case, who have their very own licence to kill because they have vowed to shoot on sight anyone hassling film-makers.

Our source said: “They’re very worried that the cops will actually kill someone. It’s getting very tense.”

Panama officials are furious since they hoped the production would bring welcome publicity and an economic boost to the Central American country.

Thanks to `pierce brosna007` for the alert.
