ST. LOUIS (KTVI) – An elderly woman is pistol whipped by armed robbers during an early morning crime spree across the city of St. Louis. Luckily for police one of the other victims was able to give officers vital information leading to three arrests.

The crime spree began Monday morning at 6 am, when a group of young men began their day by robbing a man at gunpoint in the Penrose neighborhood of North St. Louis. A few minutes later they went to South St. Louis where they robbed two more victims.

An hour later they were in police custody. The first district commander here at south patrol tells FOX2 the elderly woman was not seriously hurt.  (link)
