• and an incident near Skegness Pier at around 7.30pm on Thursday 20 August during which a teenager was struck with a hammer.
Both have been remanded into custody.
Detective Sergeant Karl Thomas, from Nottinghamshire Police’s robbery team, said: “This has been a very demanding investigation that has involved a lot of joint working between various different policing teams in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.
“At its heart are victims of various ages who have all gone through some very unpleasant and frightening experiences. I would like to thank all of those people for cooperating with us and to all the other witnesses who have come forward. We will continue with our enquires and make sure every effort is made to bring this case to a successful conclusion.”
