Calgary police need your help finding a woman wanted in connection with multiple cases of bilking seniors out of cash.

There are 17 warrants out for Alana Love Duncan’s arrest.

The 45-year-old is wanted for:

• 
  Possession of counterfeit money;
• 
  Possession of stolen property;
• 
  Defrauding a person of over $5,000;
• 
  Failing to appear in court; and
• 
  “Other offences,” according to police.

Police believe Duncan is involved in “grandparents scams” and responsible for defrauding seniors by claiming to be a loved one in need of money to get out of a jam.

Often, the scammers call or text.

And often, the amount of money requested to, say, “make bail,” is thousands of dollars.

Duncan is described as:

• 
  Approximately 5’4″;
• 
  Approximately 170 lbs;
• 
  Black-haired; and
• 
  Green-eyed.

Police have released images of their suspect.
