Two individuals are facing charges for driving transports with missing wheels.

Nipigon OPP caught the drivers within 40 minutes of each other on Saturday morning.

A 59-year old driver from Winnipeg (and the Winnipeg-based company that owns the vehicle) and a 24-year old driver from Brampton are charged with wheel separation. The Brampton driver is also charged with operation of an unsafe commercial motor vehicle.

The cases are currently under investigation.
