A man captured a video in which he says three men were caught eating fish from the pond on Tuesday around 4pm.

The local said he “confronted” the individuals - who he claims are asylum seekers - before he was met with hostility and “threatened”, with one of the alleged fish-eaters running away. He also claimed seagulls have been eaten by the men.

The video shows the angry resident shout at the males by the pond, saying: “Stop eating fish out the pond. Leave the fish alone.”
