OWNER OF B.C.'S ALLEGED MARIJUANA CAFE ORDERED TO STAY IN JAIL AFTER
ARREST FOR BAIL BREACH

Carol Gwilt, owner of a Vancouver cafe that allegedly sold marijuana
across the counter, will remain in jail until the courts have dealt
with the charges against her, a provincial court judge ruled yesterday.

Ms. Gwilt, 38, who owns the Da Kine Food and Beverage Shop, was
arrested last week for breaching bail conditions set by Judge William
Kitchen this month. She was in court to find out whether she would be
granted bail again while awaiting her Oct. 6 court date.

Ms. Gwilt is charged with possession of marijuana for trafficking
purposes as well as possession of the proceeds of crime following a
police raid on her shop on Sept. 9. Police said they seized 20 pounds
of marijuana, a pound of hashish and $63,000 in cash during the raid.

The judge's reasons for not granting bail cannot be reported due to a
publication ban.
