This past Monday, it was reported that an unnamed prospect for the St. Louis Blues and his female companion had been robbed at gunpoint in St. Louis, at the grounds of the Gateway Arch. Thankfully, no one was hurt during the terrifying incident.

In a bit of an update on Thursday, KMOV4 News has reported that a trio of arrests have been made in connection to Monday's incident, with two teenagers and "a third juvenile" being taken into custody.

According to St. Louis Police, 18-year-old Kaniya Sloan and 19-year-old Christopher Franklin are facing charges for both robbery and armed criminal action. No word on what will occur with the unnamed juvenile.

The Blues prospect and the young woman he was with were walked the grounds on Monday when they were approached by one of the teen assailants, who brandished a weapon and demanded their cell phones, wallet, purse and car keys.

Per Blues General Manager and President of Hockey Ops Doug Armstrong, the prospect was in St. Louis for a rookie training camp.
