COXHEATH, N.S. — Cape Breton Regional Police have charged two men in an apparent tug of war between two trucks outside the County Arena.

Officers were called to the Coxheath rink parking lot Wednesday evening around 7:30 p.m.

Members of the public had complained that two trucks were spotted trying to tow each other in opposite directions.

Based on witness information and evidence at the scene, police issued summary offence tickets to both drivers for infractions under the Motor Vehicle Act.

The driver of a 2013 Dodge Ram was charged with failing to operate a motor vehicle in a careful and prudent manner – to be dealt with in provincial court – and failing to comply with requirement respecting the Motor Vehicle Liability Policy, which carries a fine of $180.

The driver of a 1997 Dodge Dakota was also charged with the above two offences, in addition to operating an unregistered motor vehicle, which carries a fine of $180.

Police say the unregistered vehicle was towed from the scene.
