Manawatu Area Investigations Manager Detective Senior Sergeant, Craig Sheridan, said further charges were being considered.
"We are pleased to have been able to make swift arrests to provide reassurance to the victim, her family and the wider community, who are understandably shaken by this incident," he said.
"We are still asking anyone with information to come forward and speak with police."
