Police in Fife say they've received "numerous calls" from concerned residents about youths playing on frozen water.

The phonecalls relate to the pond at Beveridge Park in Kirkcaldy - which is currently iced over.

It comes after three boys died in Solihull on Sunday after falling into icy water - a fourth boy, who was rescued, remains in critical condition in hospital.

In a tweet Kirkcaldy Police said:

"If you know of anyone who is doing this, can you help us by asking them not to, and reminding them of the serious dangers please?"
