39-year-old Whangarei woman Maera Todd and 38-year-old Shantai Lawson allegedly assaulted a 91-year-old man and an 81-year-old woman in their Papanui home two-weeks ago.
The pair were allegedly armed with an offensive weapon - robbing the married couple of their cell phone and wallet.
In addition, Todd faces three outstanding charges for the kidnapping and robbery of an 87-year-old man outside a Hastings supermarket last month.
Both were remanded in custody until the 17th of September.
