TOMS RIVER – A local man was given a township citation for flying his helicopter in the neighborhood and landing on his property, according to police.
Meir Gurvitz was cited for violating a township zoning ordinance for operating an unauthorized helipad zone, said Jillian Messina, media relations for the Toms River Police.
The resident lived on Dino Boulevard, which is between Old Freehold Road and New Hampshire Avenue in the northern part of the town.
There had been several complaints of a low-flying helicopter in the area. Officers were able to spot it and record the number on the vehicle which led them to the home.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the New Jersey Department of Transportation are investigating whether he violated any state or federal laws.
