A woman and her dog were rescued by emergency services after falling into water after walking over a frozen River Tyne in Haddington earlier today. Their condition is not yet known.
Officers have now warned people not to cross frozen rivers in the area after receiving reports of children playing on the ice.
A police spokesman said: “Don’t be tempted to walk onto a frozen river – there is still a current flowing underneath and the surface won’t look any different whether it’s thick or thin.
“Keep dogs under control and make sure children are aware of the dangers.”
