A 22-year-old man and a 17-year-old man each faced 10 charges in Brisbane Magistrate’s Court, including sexual assault in company and two counts of robbery in company with violence.
The pair were also charged with two counts of attempted robbery in company, assault bodily harm in company, common assault, unlawful entry of a vehicle, unlawful use of a vehicle and wilful damage.
As alleged perpetrators of sexual assault, the men cannot be identified under Queensland criminal law.
CCTV released by Queensland Police shows the five men surround a vehicle, parked in the carpark of a shopping centre in Sunnybank, about 16 kilometres south of the Brisbane CBD.
Police allege two cars were parked there, but all four occupants entered one Mitsubishi Magna for safety as the men approached.
