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.
Police said two juveniles in the vehicle were later identified as the suspects in the robbery. Narcotics were also found during a search.
