The first happened in Tarneit in the city's west at 9.40pm on Sunday, when a light was shone at a chopper several times.
Officers tracked the source of the light back to a residential address and arrested a 36-year-old man.
Hours later, another laser was pointed at a helicopter as it travelled over Werribee.
Shortly after that, officers arrested an 18-year-old St Albans man from a house in Hoppers Crossing.
Both men were charged with endangering the safe operation of an aircraft, reckless conduct endangering life, assaulting an emergency worker and other offences.
