nine men and women, ages /aged 26 to 28...

[Tan Elaine]

Police have arrested four men and nine women, ages 26 to 58, for suspected involvement in loansharking activities.

Is 'ages' correct? Shouldn't it be 'aged'?

Thanks.

Yes, it should.

s and d are adjacent on the keyboard.

I agree with Rover.

I suppose it's just about possible that the writer was thinking, "Police have arrested four men and nine women,(their) ages (being) 26 to 58...", but that is clumsy. It's far more likely that it was a typo.

In Am news reports you would most often/always see/hear "ages" in this context.
