A court date has been set for a cannabis drug dealer. 

Razween Mohammed of Tomswood Road in Chigwell was arrested by police on April 25 after they were drawn to a strong smell of cannabis coming from a car. 

Mohammed was parked in a Peugeot in Grange Park Road, Leyton, with three other men when police approached him and saw him throw a bag onto the floor. 

He was taken to Leyton custody suite where officers found 15 self-sealed bags of cannabis and scales. 

The 31-year-old initially pleaded not guilty to possession with intent to supply class B drugs, but admitted the offence on the first day of his trial last month. 

He has been released on unconditional bail for a further hearing at Thames Magistrates Court on October 20.
