An urgent warning has been issued to stay off frozen water after multiple reports of people walking on lakes and ponds just days after the deaths of four boys in a frozen lake in the West Midlands.
Reports of people walking on icy waters have come from across the country, including Suffolk, the West Midlands, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Somerset, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, London, Lincolnshire and Merseyside, reports the BBC.
Avon and Somerset Police issued a safety warning after "multiple calls" about children playing on a frozen pond. Lincolnshire Police reported that two young boys had walked across a canal and three boys had gone on to a frozen lake.
