Police said the incident happened in the early hours of 19 November.
The trio aged 31, 36 and 39 were arrested today in relation to those incidents, after police carried out search warrants in the area.
They are due to appear in Invercargill District Court tomorrow.
Another 36-year-old man arrested yesterday will reappear in court on Friday on charges of aggravated burglary, kidnapping, and firearms charges.
