A TEENAGER who made a gun gesture behind the back of Conservative leader David Cameron is appearing in court today charged with possession of cannabis.

The 17-year-old youth was arrested after police searched a house in Wythenshawe on Saturday morning.

He is appearing at Manchester City Magistrates' Youth Court today.

The hooded youngster was photographed on Thursday making a shooting action with his hand behind the back of Mr Cameron, who was visiting Manchester to speak about youth gun culture.

Mr Cameron discussed the incident when he visited Bolton's De Vere Whites Hotel on Friday for a reception marking the inaugural Conservative North-west regional conference.
