The fire service was also called to put out some gorse fires.
A PSNI spokesperson said: "This area is very dark, has barbed wire fences, and is beside the river.
"Listen I don't want to be a killjoy, but equally I don't fancy pulling someone out of the river, and I am sure you agree fire service have more important calls to attend."
A message was also posted on the South Belfast PSNI's Facebook page to parents which reads: "Do you know where your children are tonight?"
