Coatbridge: Recently, police in Lanarkshire have been sounding the alarm about the risks of walking on frozen water. They noticed some young folks strutting their stuff on the ice at Monklands Canal, which is pretty concerning.
With temperatures dipping below zero, it seems like everyone’s been trying to enjoy the winter by walking, skating, or just having fun on frozen lakes and ponds. But that ice can be super tricky.
Last week, officers got a bunch of reports about the kids on the ice, and it really raised some eyebrows in the community. It’s a reminder that while it might look fun, it’s not worth the risk.
Police are urging everyone to stay alert and think twice before stepping onto frozen surfaces. They said, “No shortcut or photo op is worth risking your life.”
So, if you see someone getting a bit too close to the edge, it’s best to speak up. Safety first, right?
