Four teenagers allegedly held an air rifle up to four boys in a Dundee park and robbed them.
Liam Scott, 18, of Court Street, and Adam Parkin, 19, of St Dennis Terrace, both appeared in private before Sheriff Hall at Dundee in connection with three charges.
They made no plea or declaration. Two co-accused are yet to appear before a sheriff.
All four teenagers are appearing on the same three charges on petition, which are alleged to have happened at Clatto Woods between March 7 and 8.
The four are charged with assaulting the other youths, by shining a torch into their faces, presenting an air rifle at them, threatening them with violence and robbing them of mobile phones, money and cigarettes.
The four face a second charge of having a firearm with intent to cause the same four youths to believe that unlawful violence would be used against them.
The third charge alleged having an air rifle, without lawful authority.
