Queensland police are searching for a group of Irish tourists accused of running a number of scams in the state's southeast.
Brisbane and Gold Coast police have received 12 complaints about the group of nine men and women.
Detective Superintendent Tony Fleming said the men have fleeced thousands of dollars from elderly home owners with bogus agreements to fix roofs and driveways.
One man lost $25,000 after they failed to carry out promised roof repairs, he said.

The women are accused of distracting shop attendants while their children put stolen items in a pram.
Both the men and women have been reported to police for scamming food by claiming they found hair in their meal, or that a piece of glass cut their mouth.
Anyone with information should contact police.
