Same person pranked called me three times-will police

I don't know if prank calls without a threat will be taken seriously by the police.

A person phoned three times in the last few days hiding their number.

They didn't threaten me and wasn't abusive.

What could happy if I report?

Bump, not sure if it's worth reporting
It’s not worth reporting.

NB. If it was the same person, block the number.

Yeah they're not really going to do anything if it's just people mucking about.

I'd just not answer any withheld numbers for a while (I rarely do anyway) and deny them a reaction, they'll likely get bored v quick.

^^ This 100%. If a person is not in my contacts list and I'm not expecting a phone call e.g. GP appointment then the other person can leave a message/send a text if they want to contact me so badly.
