OWNER OF VANCOUVER MARIJUANA CAFE ARRESTED FOR BREACHING CONDITIONS OF BAIL

The owner of a controversial Vancouver cafe that sells marijuana has
been re-arrested on a charge of breaching her bail conditions. Carol
Gwilt, owner of Da Kine Food and Beverage, was arrested without
incident in a vehicle Thursday and taken into custody.

Da Kine caught the attention of police after media reports of
over-the-counter sales of marijuana. Police raided the shop Sept. 9
and arrested Ms. Gwilt and seven employees on charges of possessing
marijuana for the purpose of trafficking. Ms. Gwilt was also charged
with possessing proceeds from a crime.

After spending a night in jail, she and the others were released from
custody, pending a further appearance on Oct. 6, on condition they
stay away from marijuana or any premise, automobile, or person where
marijuana is present. Ms. Gwilt was back at Da Kine soon after her
release and vowed that her business would remain open.
