vistos por última a vez [última vez]

Does "vistos por última a vez" translate to "last seen"?

Cinco hombres, vistos por última a vez a bordo de un Ford Crown Victoria, estaban siendo buscados ayer por la Policía.

And is the following an accurate traslation of the above?

Five men, last seen in a Ford Crown Victory, were being sought by Police yesterday.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

It's just fine, but you have an extra "a" between "última" and "vez". Maybe is a typing error...?

marietta,

the extra “a” is what made me question the construction in the first place. I should have made that clear but I did not want get too wordy. I cut and pasted the quote from the URL below. It is in the first paragraph of the story.

Based on what your saying, it seems the article has a typo and that the translation should be:

"vistos por última vez" translate to "last seen".

Thanks for clearing this up.

Bill
