Police are warning of the dangers of internet relationships after a German woman who struck up an online relationship with a New Zealand man was rescued by armed police in Dunedin on Saturday.

The 30-year-old woman arrived in Dunedin to find the man she had met online was "not who he had portrayed himself to be", Detective Senior Sergeant Steve McGregor told the Otago Daily Times.

Mr McGregor said friends of the woman had become concerned for her safety when she failed to meet up with them as arranged after going to meet the man.

Police visited a house in Roslyn, Dunedin, but when they did not find the woman there, and given the concerns the friends had raised with them, they sent in the armed offenders squad (AOS).

Witnesses said they heard what sounded like gunshots coming from the Garfield Avenue address as dozens of armed police swarmed the house about 6.30pm on Saturday, but police said no shots were fired in what they described as a "dangerous situation".

Some of the woman's belongings were found at the property, but she was not there.

Shortly before midnight on Saturday, she returned with the man.

"She was unharmed and grateful for police intervention," Mr McGregor said.

The woman told detectives yesterday she had become increasingly alarmed since meeting the man at Dunedin Airport on February 8 because it was obvious the man had lied to her about his personal circumstances , Mr McGregor said.

He warned of the dangers of meeting people through the internet, and said caution was essential when making arrangements to meet such people.

This was particularly important when a meeting was arranged in a strange or foreign place and particularly in a foreign country where a person might not have family or friendly support.

"This isolation has the potential to place them in a dangerous situation they may not have anticipated or been prepared for," Mr McGregor said.

Police were not planning to lay charges against the man.

There seems to be something missing/not being told in this.

He probably has a criminal record but is it appropriate to publish an article implying he has done something wrong?

Possibly they mean dangerous to any nearby courier drivers because the police were armed...

This morning they are saying he said he was 33 but he was more like 53 -
Apparently he had weapons all through the house - but no sound that he was going to use them or being threatening - seems she was just a dummy - travelling half way round the world to meet a man shed known on the net for a little while!!

Seems to me she should be charged with stupidity!!

only an idiot would travel halfway round the world to meet a complete stranger without having a backup plan.
Mind you I guess it applies to anyone meeting a stranger off the net regardless of where they live.

as i said in my first post lovelee,although he sounds like a fucktard basically he has not done anything wrong except fib a bit on his profile.As you and the herald said she was a flakey social worker who wanted to use him as a bit of a case study.Says a lot about her,to fly around the world on a whim then meet him and still hang around then go away for a few days with him.I think she should be made to bonk him before she is deported for wasting police time and taxpayers money Grin

Most people beef themselves a bit and tweak their online persona,  its actually boring to meet someone online who DOESNT blow their own horn just a lil bit. I for one have come to expect it.
