A man who was part of the infamous family of "unruly tourists" who wreaked havoc in New Zealand and were later deported is accused of causing more trouble in the UK.
Patrick Doran is accused of menacing behaviour towards residents in Stickney, Lincolnshire, where he's applied to the local council requesting a change of use to grazing land he owns to a "gypsy/traveller site".
Village locals, who didn't want to be identified out of fear of retaliation, told the Daily Mail Doran lets his several powerful Belgian malinois dogs roam wild on his land. Others said he has loud barbecues with bonfires that produce thick, acrid smoke.
Several reportedly said he also threatened a traffic controller who took a photo of his car while he was parked on double yellow lines near a crossing. He's accused of putting his fingers against his head and mimicking a gun.
Lincolnshire Police said they were investigating complaints.
Doran is further accused of already developing his land in Stickney, where he plans to have areas for seven static caravans, up to 20 touring caravans, a wash block, and day room.
The Daily Mail reported he also uses the name Alan Gray, which appears on planning application send to East Lindsey District Council.
Doran has denied the bullying allegations. He said the council had "offered a transit site" for him and his family to "live there in peace".
"You're destroying my business. You're destroying my life," he told the Daily Mail.
But the council said it hasn't given offered the land for use as a transit site, nor has it given permission for work to be undertaken there.
The family was branded as "a bunch of arseholes" by then-Auckland Mayor Phil Goff while they were in New Zealand in early 2019.
While here, the group vandalised hotels, stole Red Bulls from petrol stations, and left a trail of rubbish on Auckland's Takapuna Beach. More than 10,000 people signed a petition demanding they be thrown out of the country.
Immigration NZ later issued them a deportation notice.
