Innocent people have again been caught up in an ongoing bikie feud, with a bullet from an alleged targeted shooting coming within a metre of a sleeping neighbour in Canberra's south.

ACT Policing's head of criminal investigations Scott Moller said at about 10:45pm yesterday, two suspected bikies entered a home on Carter Crescent in Calwell before opening fire.

Police said a bullet fired into one of the targeted homes went through the house's exterior wall and into the bedroom of a neighbour, missing a sleeping person by one metre.

A man was shot in the hand during the home invasion, but his wife and young child — who were also inside the house at the time — were unharmed.

He was treated at the scene and was taken to hospital.

Detective Superintendent Moller said the suspected bikies then torched three cars in the backyard before driving past a second house on the same street and opening fire on it.

Police closed part of the road and established crime scenes.

Police have also established a third crime scene in the suburb of Fisher after a car was set on fire overnight.

ACT Policing's Taskforce Nemesis is investigating possible criminal gang links to the shootings.

Last week another "innocent Canberra family" was terrorised, when their home — that used to belong to a Comancheros member — was shot at and their front door set on fire.

At the time ACT Chief Police Officer Justine Saunders said the escalation in bikie violence was keeping her up at night.

"My fears are in some ways being realised by the fact that we are having innocent people being caught up in some of this rivalry," Assistant Commissioner Saunders said.

She also revealed a fourth gang, the Finks, had moved to Canberra — joining the Rebels, Comancheros and Nomads.

ACT Policing has previously attributed the recent breakout of outlaw motorcycle gang crime to a rift in the Comancheros gang.

Neighbour recently moved in bid to avoid bikie shootings

A neighbour, who wished not to be identified, said his family had only just moved to the street to avoid bikie shootings.

"It's a particular concern for us, we moved recently from another street that had a fairly well known incident, actually twice in a year, and now we've got it here," he said.

"I feel sorry for the people in the house, obviously, I don't think it's a nice feeling for anyone, whatever they're up to.

"But it's a strange thing that seems to be happening more and more in Canberra.

"It's disconcerting, particularly for young children."

'The community should be worried'

Last year police were given extra powers designed to target outlaw motorcycle gangs, including a new offence for drive-by shootings with penalties of up to 10 years behind bars.

But the territory is not covered by tough anti-consorting laws — something Assistant Commissioner Saunders said she would continue to push for.

Opposition Leader Jeremy Hanson said it was "only a matter of time before someone [was] killed" and "the community should be worried".

"The chief police officer is pleading for these [anti-consorting] laws and the Labor Government is refusing to do it," he said.

"It is outrageous. They are putting our community at risk by not acting."

Police Minister Mick Gentleman declined a request for interview, but in a statement, an ACT Government spokesman said the Government had already "acted to strengthen laws and provide police with additional powers".

"To date, Taskforce Nemesis has charged 264 people, laid a total of 748 charges and executed 201 search warrants," the spokesman said.

"However, we must keep in mind there is no quick or easy solution to serious criminal gangs.

"We will continue working with ACT Policing and other officials across government to help address organised crime."
