Bike Found On Silver Lake Shore; Dive Team Responds

WILMINGTON, MA — What seemed to be a scary scene on Silver Lake now appears to have been a false alarm.

State Police dive teams and local Wilmington fire and police officers were all on the scene for unconfirmed reports that a person had fallen through the ice.

Neither state nor local police could confirm whether anyone had indeed gone through the ice. Scanner traffic indicates the incident has now been downgraded and that nobody, in fact, fell through.

Local fire officials and police officers posted on social media to say a bike found on the lake sparked the dive team response.
