        Bridgewater police say that reports that two people sledding went missing in icy water have been unfounded.
        Officials say that a hiker reported that they saw two sleds off Gilbride Road near the East Branch Middle Brook and that there was a small hole in the ice near the sleds.
        Search-and-rescue teams went into the water to search for anyone who may have gone missing.
        “After an extensive search of the wooded area and the East Branch Middle Brook, no one was located,” police wrote in a statement.
        Officials also say that the department has not received any reports of a missing person.
