The ram raids happened on 15 August - one on Dee Street and the other on Windsor Street.
Last week, an 18-year-old was taken into custody in relation to the incident and now two men, aged 18 and 23, have been charged with theft of a motor vehicle and burglary.
The 18-year-old also faces charges in relation to an aggravated robbery on Centre Street on 17 August, a ram raid on Bill Richardson Drive and a number of charges in relation to the theft of motor vehicles, which police say were used in this spate of offending.
Both men are due to appear in the Invercargill District Court today.
As police investigated the thefts, they found a stolen Subaru Impreza at the address of a 19-year-old man, who was also arrested and charged.
He is due to appear in the Invercargill District Court today on charges in relation to motor vehicles and theft in Christchurch and Invercargill.
No one else was being sought in relation to the ram raids on Dee Street and Windsor Street, police said.
