Farmington police said these two arrests this week close their investigation, which was in connection with a scary incident at a home on Talcott Notch Road back in September 2022.
According to police, on Sept. 13, 2022, at about 1:42 a.m., Farmington officers were called for a report of two men asking for help on Waterville Road.
When Farmington officers located the men, who were both 36, police were told by the men they were victims of a robbery at a residence, according to police.
Police said it appears the two men were targeted by a house guest and the incident was not random.
Both victims suffered "minor injuries" and declined an ambulance to go to a nearby hospital, police said.
