Do there exist three integers in Arithmetic Progression whose product is prime ? If Yes, then what are the three integers and if No, then why ?

[Note: The numbers: x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6,........ are said to be in Arithmetic Progression if (x2 - x1) = (x3 - x2) = (x4 - x3) = (x5 - x4) = ........ and so on].

Obviously we cannot have negative numbers as factors. Otherwise even 3 would not be a prime number since it would have two sets of factors 1,3 & -1,-3.
