A man has seen his sound equipment worth £3,000 seized by the local council after neighbours complained of him playing Celine Dion too loudly.<\/p>\n
Gareth Davies was targeted by Medway Council following reports that he was blasting out music at extreme volume.<\/p>\n
Someone got in touch with the local authority after he was heard enjoying a particularly loud rendition of Dion's hit My Heart Will Go On.<\/p>\n
Other tracks that caused concern among local people included Boom Shack-A-Lak by Apache Indian and You've Got A Friend In Me from Toy Story.<\/p>\n
After seeing his iPod, speakers, 3D television and PlayStation 3 seized, Mr Davies said: "It felt like it was a witch hunt."<\/p>\n
Peter Hicks, the portfolio holder for community safety at the council, said everyone has the right to a peaceful existence, adding: "Anyone who blasts out music or creates other noise nuisance should let this be a warning to them."<\/p>\n
