NETFLIX hit series Baby Reindeer has sparked a shocking surge in reports of stalking.

And the rise in calls from just March to April was 26%.
Baby Reindeer topped streaming charts around the world within days of hitting our screens.
The seven-part drama tells a version of writer Richard Gadd's experience of being stalked by a woman named Martha, played by Jessica Gunning.
