Be aware on thin ice

The RCMP would like to remind everyone to be extremely careful of thin ice when they are out on their snow machines and/or ice fishing in the upcoming weeks. Even if you are wearing heavy winter clothing a human body can only last seconds in freezing cold water. Please use caution around any water this time of year.

If you have any information on these or any other crimes, please call the Rimbey RCMP at (403) 843-2224 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, #8477 on Telus Mobility or *8477 on Rogers AT&T.
