A secretive case involving two bikies who allegedly raided the home of another gang member after they switched allegiances, hears how police were watching the men weeks before the crime.

A Canberra jury is getting ready to consider its verdict in a case that lifts the lid on the city's bikie sub-culture.Two Comancheros are alleged to have raided the home of bikie Alex Miller after he patched over to another club

Most of the trial has been held in secret, with no media or public present, to protect witnesses in the case.Comancheros Christopher Millington and Aofangatukau Langi are accused of a violent home invasion where shots were fired and a house set alight. Police evidence has revealed the pair had been under surveillance in the weeks leading up to the attack, with a listening device in Mr Millington's Mazda and undercover police following the pair.

"But this does not mean that he is outside the protection of the law, he has a right not to be the subject of those unsolicited acts of violence."Mr Millington has pleaded guilty to being at the home, but not to endangering life by lighting the fire.Mr Williamson told the jury its main task will be deciding Mr Langi's involvement.

The court has heard Mr Langi was sergeant-at-arms of the local Comanchero Motorcycle Club, which Mr Williamson said gave him a reason to be there.

Well you just seemingly put someone’s life at risk for an article. Hope it’s worth it.

Is it classed as home invasion if you delude the inhabitants that you invaded it in the first place. Judging from the confidence in this city, seems like everyone’s at it. Plenty of jokes about chloroform too. Seems abusive to restrict it to gang activity and patch enforcing it.

Alex Miller who was cowering inside bathroom. Bwahahaha...
