TWO men have been charged over a confrontation about money and an ex at a Scarborough home.

Police believe a 41-year-old Wembley man went to the home of a Scarborough man (52), who he had known for 10 years, on Monday at about 10am when an argument broke out over money owed and a mutual ex-girlfriend.

They say the resident saw the other man arrive via his security camera and went outside to confront him while holding a golf club.
