Mateau has been further charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life in connection with shots being fired in Brookvale Road, Solihull, in July.
Mateau, aged 24, appeared before magistrates in Birmingham today while Cuong, 41, appeared at court in Leamington.
The pair, who are also charged with being concerned in the production of cannabis, have been remanded until a future court hearing.
