Two months after the police received information about the alleged animal cruelty and bestiality, the clubhouse was raided and a female alpaca was recovered from the property.
Police also allegedly found loaded guns and prohibited drugs at the premises.
Sergeant Trueman said he did not know if anyone was charged following the 2014 raids.
When police raided the property again in January this year, they seized 247 cases of alcohol worth an estimated $21,000.
The court heard officers also found a ‘stripper pole’ at the property.
Police alleged members unlawfully supplied alcohol at the clubhouse to raise money for the gang.
Speaking at the Supreme Court, barrister for the Gypsy Jokers, Dominic Toomey SC, said there was no evidence to suggest the club operated indecently.
