Seven men who discovered it can take more than two to tango are facing charges after a tiff outside a downtown hotel last Saturday evening.

Whitehorse RCMP were called at 9 p.m. and told a multi-member melee was going on in the River View Hotel's Wood Street parking lot, involving baseball bats.

Officers who arrived to find seven scrappers ordered the lot of them to get down on the ground, an order they complied with, Sgt. John Sutherland, the Whitehorse RCMP spokesman, said this morning.

The two sides were fairly evenly matched, and it doesn't appear there were any serious injuries, Sutherland told reporters. In any event, the seven were shipped off to detachment cells rather than Whitehorse General Hospital.

At one point during the skirmish, a pickup truck was beaten with a baseball bat as well, Sutherland said.

It's not known why the fight broke out in the first place.

The seven men, ranging in age from 23 to 48, were released for later court dates.

Meanwhile, a Porter Creek home was burglarized in broad daylight Good Friday afternoon.

The thief or thieves forced their way into the Tamarack Drive home through a back door some time between 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., though the break-in wasn't reported to police until 2:31 a.m. Saturday.

A box of jewelry was stolen, along with several hundred dollars' worth of American and Canadian money orders.

A Chinese restaurant downtown was the victim of some property damage this morning.

Police were notified at 3:55 a.m. that a front window had been smashed at the China Garden Restaurant on Jarvis Street. It's not known who did the damage.
