Blank texts from 1944xxxx

Hi,
My iPhone was recently stolen (by two guys on a moped!), and I have since blocked / erased etc everything through iCloud.
Today, my partner has been receiving blank messages from various numbers starting in '1944' and then ending variations of my mobile number (i.e. some would 194474041, then 19447404199 etc; note the examples are not my number).
Has anyone experienced this before? It's only concerning if it is related to the incident and the thieves, however from reading online it could either be unrelated phishing, or just an apple glitch?
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
