There's no simple answer as each case is different however, if your 2 friends didn't go to jail for more than 12 months then it shouldn't be a problem.
It's all about 'character'. Normally (remember each case is different) an offense that didn't result in jail time of +12months will not fail a character test. There obtaining a visa would be possible if all other aspects of the process were meet.
If they did serve a jail time of 12 months or more than it becomes difficult, you have to prove their character and this can become hard and delicate.
To give you a definite answer they would need to sit down with an agent.
My advice would be to use an agent to assist with your friends application.
Good luck to the 3 of you
