Dylan Allison had his swords stolen while he was in Denmark.

An international competitor is frustrated after discovering his garage was burgled while he was away representing his country.

Dylan Allison, 31, was in Denmark competing at the International Medieval Combat Federation World Championships held in Spottrup Castle in May.

When he returned home to Palmerston North he discovered seven weapons he left behind in his garage had been stolen. He had bought three of the weapons and made the other four himself.

SUPPLIED These seven weapons were stolen from Dylan Allison's garage.

Allison said about $1000 worth of gear was stolen. "I'm a bit gutted."

He said it took a few days after he arrived home for him to notice his weapons were gone.

"I wasn't really looking for them and then I realised they were missing and that a few other things were."

He was still hoping whoever took them might return them to his Bourke St property.

Instead of paying to replace them, Allison said he would probably just make new ones himself.

While over in Denmark, Allison enjoyed competing as a runner in the New Zealand team, which came eighth out of 25 countries.

They won two silver medals – one in men's long sword, and one in women's sword and shield.

Two members of the Manawatu Armoured Combat Club were competing.

Allison said he got into re-enactments in 2014 as he wanted to be involved in something interesting that also keep him fit.

"I was looking for something a bit more extreme and found out about Buhurt – full-contact group fights, so I built all my armour over a year and fought in my first Buhurt in 2015."

He had reported the stolen weapons to police and police confirmed a report was received this month.
