The incident occurred in New Haven County around 6:40 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 16, on Wilson Street in Milford.
Milford Police said when officers responded to the home on a report of a robbery the victim told them two males he knew had robbed him at gunpoint before fleeing in a white vehicle.
A short time later, a responding officer spotted a vehicle matching the description and it was stopped on Schoolhouse Road.
