Amazon says it has halted all shipments of machetes and other long-bladed weapons to Manitoba addresses.

The move came after the Manitoba government enacted new rules in December to limit in-store sales of such items to minors.

The new law requires retail outlets in the province to only sell long-blade instruments to people with photo ID that can prove they are adults.
