Police posted the details on Twitter, adding that the two men arrested "seem to idolise Harry Roberts and need to grow up".
Harry Roberts was jailed for 45 years after being convicted of the killings of three unarmed police officers in 1966.
At a hearing at Furness Magistrates' Court last week, a football hooligan used the notorious killer's name to taunt police ahead of a Barrow AFC match.
