An Ocean Township man is behind bars after police say he assaulted a man after breaking into an apartment in the Twinbrook Complex to commit a robbery Monday afternoon.
He wanted to enjoy the ocean again and and be able to participate in recreational sports. A wounded Vietnam War Veteran is now not only able to do so but also help other disabled Vets enjoy various activities year-round through his non-profit "Operation Beachhead".
For the second time this week Seaside Heights, Seaside Park and Lavallette water rescue teams were called to a beach in SSH to make a rescue from swimmers getting caught in rip currents.
The weather has been nice of late but the surf has not and that sent Seaside Heights, Seaside Park and Lavalette scuba teams into the ocean on Monday night for a swimmer in distress.
It's National Beach Safety Week and after a summer that saw several drownings across the Jersey Shore in 2017, officials are urging caution as you head for the water.
