Two men are due to appear in court next month in connection with two armed robberies.
Jack Gallagher, 19, and Kaine Fairweather, 22, have been charged with two counts of robbery following armed city raids.
In the first, at Bury's Convenience Store on Aylsham Road, Norwich, a BB gun and large knife were used to threaten a shop employee who suffered a minor injury to the face.
A quantity of cash was stolen in the raid which happened at about 9.47pm on June 3.
A second robbery took place at about 10.30pm the next day when three people entered Heigham News and threatened a staff member with an air pistol and a knife.
The worker received an injury to the head but did not require medical treatment.
Gallagher, of Key and Castle Yard, Norwich, and Fairweather, of Munnings Road, Norwich, are both due to appear at Norwich Crown Court on July 5 in connection with the robberies.
Both appeared before city magistrates last week and were remanded in custody.
Enquiries are ongoing to identify the third suspect.
