Police said the pair were arrested over alleged offences committed in the Aylesbury area between 2005 and 2008.

Last Tuesday police carried out a series of synchronised dawn raids, in which up to 120 officers stormed 11 properties across Buckinghamshire and Middlesex.

Following the raids, eight other men, aged between 28 and 45, were charged in connection with alleged child sex exploitation following the raids as part of Operation Articulate.

Police said the raids had been prompted by information received 'earlier this year', and related to two female victims with the alleged abuse carried out between 2005 and 2012. 

Speaking after last week's raids, Acting Superintendent Olly Wright said: 'The police action taken today comes as a result of information given to the police earlier this year. We have been working closely with other agencies to investigate these matters, and to provide support and care for the victims.

'The aim of this operation is to protect victims, bring offenders to justice, and to offer help to any others who we are encouraging to come forward. We will continue to work alongside our partner agencies to offer any support victims need as we carry on with the investigation.'

Officers said they were not linked to recent high profile sex cases in Rotherham and Oxford. 

Nangpal and Iqbal have been remanded to appear at Milton Keynes Magistrates’ Court later today. 

The other eight men, who face accusations of rape against teenage girls, forcing them into prostitution, ABH and drugging them, were arrested following the execution of police warrants last Tuesday, and charged the following day.

Arshad Jani, 32, from Aylesbury, is charged with one count of conspiracy to rape a girl aged between 13 and 15, one count of engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a girl aged 13 to 15 and one count of raping a girl.
