Jarrod Gilbert: Sociologist and gang expert on the potential returning of the donation to the Wellsford Volunteer Fire Brigade due to gang association - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Funds gifted to the Wellsford Volunteer Fire Brigade from may be returned due to its association with a gang.  

The $2.5k donation was raised in the Head Hunters North Motorcycle club's "Outlaw Motorcycle Run" event.  

Internal Affairs Minister Brooke van Velden and members of the public have voiced opposition to the club accepting the money. 

But sociologist and gang expert Jarrod Gilbert told Mike Hosking that the event was open to the public and about 40 businesses helped raise the money.  

Gilbert says it's not the first time charitable gifts from outlaw clubs have not been accepted, but by and large, they tend to be.
