Two teens are dead after falling through thin ice.
On Wednesday, October 21st at around 2:45 a.m. officers received reports of two males trying to enter a home in Delta, just north of Portage La Prairie.
The pair told the homeowner that they were looking for the home of someone they knew. The homeowner was concerned and called police.
When officers arrived the males fled, and while searching, officers heard calls of distress coming from a nearby marsh.
Police discovered that they had broken through the ice and fell into the water. The two males, an 18-year-old from Brandon and a 17-year-old from Portage la Prairie did not resurface.
Their bodies were recovered later that day.
