Don't answer this phone number: 1-876-362-9552.

Barrington Police Chief John LaCross suggests you let your telephone ring until it stops if you receive a call from this number.

A Nortwest Passage woman contacted police last Saturday, Jan. 26, after receiving repeated calls that she described as "harassing" and "annoying."

When police officers called the number, they got people who simply hung up after answering their calls, said LaCross.

It is not known where the calls originate or if they are nefarious or pranks. The police chief's suggestion: don't answer a call identified by that number.
