Halifax Regional Police say two drivers have been charged with stunting after being pulled over on Highway 101 and 102.

At 10:40 p.m. Friday, officers observed two vehicles driving at a high rate of speed on the Bedford Highway heading toward Sackville.

As a result, an 18-year-old man from Hammonds Plains and a 28-year-old man from Halifax have been charged with stunting under the Motor Vehicle Act.

The charge of stunting is automatically laid when a vehicle is travelling more than 50 km/h over the speed limit.

The charge carries an automatic one week licence suspension and the seizure of the vehicle.
