Toms River police were able to view the helicopter that had been landing on Dino Boulevard and obtain its tail number and owner's name, according to Jillian Messina, a police department spokeswoman.

The helicopter's pilot, Meir Gurvitz, received a zoning ordinance citation from police for having an "unauthorized helipad zone," Messina said on Friday.

The Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Transportation also are investigating, she said.
