A train travelling drug dealer has been jailed for nine years after selling cannabis on a train.

Dwight Brown was on a 5am train from Witham to London when he was overhead selling another passenger two bags for £15 each.

The passenger got off the train at Chelmsford but Brown continued his journey to Liverpool Street station, where he was arrested.

He had several bags containing pink heart-shaped tablets, some of them class A drugs, and other identical pink heart shaped tablets that were uncontrolled drugs.

Police also found wraps of brown crystalline MDMA and cocaine and several bags of cannabis, and £240 in cash.

At Brown's home on the Wyndham Estate, Camberwell, they found cannabis plants, several black plastic bags containing packs of pink tablets and wraps of a white powder substance, weighing scales and paraphernalia.

The incident was on July 14 last year.

Brown, 27, admitted possession of a live prohibited ammunition, production of a Class A drug, and possessing Class A and Class B drugs with intent to supply.

He was jailed for a total of nine years at Blackfriars Crown Court.
