PHOTO: ROB KIDDA gang member who sold drugs and planned an armed robbery says he was trying to raise money to join his family in Australia. Sofele was one of several Tribesmen Motorcycle Club arrested following an operation by the Dunedin Organised Crime Squad last year. Over the next three days he told 2.4g of MDMA worth $580. Sofele, the court heard this week, said the planned robbery was just him helping a friend vent his anger. Judge Turner made an order forfeiting the cash found in the search of Sofele's home, and the drugs and weapons would be destroyed.
