England Cricketer James Vince's Family Forced to Flee Home After Persistent Attacks

England cricketer and Hampshire captain James Vince has been living in fear after his family was forced to flee their home in Southampton due to persistent attacks on their property. The first attack occurred in the early hours of April 15, when Vince and his family were woken by the sound of smashing and alarms going off. The attackers had targeted Vince's home and vehicles, causing extensive damage. The family was forced to move out temporarily while repairs were made.

Barely a week after returning home, Vince's worst fears were realized when a second attack took place on May 1. This time, Vince was still awake upstairs and was able to get downstairs quickly. He saw the attackers using bricks to smash windows on both the cars and the house. The family had just returned from a benefit dinner for Vince's teammate Chris Wood when the attack happened around midnight.

The incidents have puzzled Vince and authorities alike. Despite extensive investigations by the police, private security personnel, and intelligence firms, no clear motive has emerged. Vince remains convinced the attacks are a case of mistaken identity.

Footage from the new security cameras has provided some clues. It shows a man with a torch passing bricks over a wall to another man, who then throws them at the house and cars. The second man wore a hoodie with a Gym King logo and had his face covered. This, Vince hopes, might be a key piece of information to identify the culprits.

The attacks coincidentally took place on days when Hampshire had home matches, adding another layer of mystery. Despite enhanced security measures, the family remains on edge, fearing a third attack.

The emotional toll on the family has been immense, especially on Vince's young children. Vince has now turned to the public for help, hoping someone might recognize the attackers or have information that could solve the mystery.

Hampshire Police confirmed the incidents, stating: "Two incidents of criminal damage at an address during the early hours of April 15 and May 11. On both occasions, two cars were damaged, and the front room windows smashed."
