Officers were called to the Forth and Clyde Canal in Kirkintilloch where the children as young as ten were found playing.
Police were called to reports of children playing on a frozen canal near Glasgow just days after three kids lost their lives after falling through ice in England.
Taking to social media, a passerby said: "Do people not see the news... Please if this is your kids currently out on the frozen canal in Kirkintilloch get them home.Police officers were able to get the children off the ice and warned them of the dangers of frozen water. “It is very tempting at this time of the year to play on ice but I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous this is and I am urging all parents, carers and guardians to make sure all young people are aware of the dangers of frozen water.
Glasgow City Council previously issued a statement urging locals to not attempt to cross or walk on the Queen's Park pond. Taking to social media, a spokesperson said: "As much as it's tempting, do not skate, attempt to cross, walk or play on ponds, or any frozen bodies of water. No matter how solid it might look, you have no idea how unstable it actually is.
“We strongly urge everyone to please be aware of the dangers of frozen water. We know the ice can look inviting but do not be tempted to walk on ice. It can easily crack and cause a person to fall through.
