He was remanded in custody.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Muja then appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court on 11th February to 12 months imprisonment on the count of production of cannabis. He was also ordered to pay a \u00a3156 victim surcharge. He was additionally sentenced to three months imprisonment for abstracting electricity, which is to be served concurrently with the longer term.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Inspector Mel Baker of the East Area Safer Neighbourhoods Team said,\u00a0\u201cThe sale and use of drugs seriously damages the quality of life for residents and businesses, and in the case of cannabis factories, brings significant fire risks to surrounding properties.
