Police searched a property in the West Auckland suburb of Ranui yesterday, as part of an investigation into fraud and burglary over the past two months.
They're accusing the woman of targeting women in their 80s who live alone.
They allege she entered their homes under false pretences, and took their bank cards to withdraw cash.
Police say the woman faces seven charges, and they'll oppose her bail.
