One of Vin Diesel neighbors is very upset with the star’s large security team, saying that the guards’ presence in their neighborhood is “abusive” and “absurd,” according to a report from TMZ.

In a letter written to Diesel which was obtained by TMZ, the neighbor wrote, “For a few weeks I have personally witnessed and heard from fellow homeowners the unprecedented and abusive display of your security people around our homes and beach,”
“Interrogating us, blocking our street with five or six SUV’s. Stopping residents while walking when you ride your bicycle.”
Vin Diesel, 53, is renting a pad in the Dominican Republic located in “a community where no one is a threat to you or anyone else that visits us,” the letter states.
“… We are used to [seeing] many celebrities like yourself but who have not imposed their own personal and arbitrary rules while violating the peaceful enjoyment of us, homeowners, and our guests while we are here,” the neighbor wrote.
The New York-bred neighbor fired off the note after Diesel’s security team allegedly “blocked pedestrians and traffic” so the actor and his children could ride their bikes on Easter, according to TMZ.
Diesel has three kids, between the ages of 6 to 13, with his wife Paloma Jiménez.
But a source with a good knowledge of what happened said the heavy security was necessary because his family was present. He and the kids were handing out Easter baskets to workers in the community, the source added.
However, the movie star never meant to inconvenience his neighbors and has gotten along well with locals during his 20 years of visits to the Dominican Republic, the source said.

The source also said that the security guards are Dominicans, a move Diesel made to employ locals in the area, according to the source.
