WESTBROOK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Police in Westbrook are reminding the public to heed warnings of thin ice after two girls broke through the Presumpscot River Sunday afternoon.
Police say they were at Riverbank Park and walked out onto the ice about three feet from the riverbank, when the ice gave way. The area, however, was very shallow and the water only got up to their ankles.
At least one girl was 11 years old. Police could not verify the age of the other.
The girls were uninjured and were able to make it out safely.
