Jack Gibson-Burrell, facing over 50 charges including vandalism and assault, will reside with his grandmother under curfew and other restrictions.

  • Jack Gibson-Burrell, 21, is accused of creating the 'Pam the Bird' graffiti, which has appeared on heritage-listed sites across Melbourne and Geelong.
  • He faces over 50 charges, including criminal damage, aggravated burglary, car theft, and an alleged stabbing incident, with damages exceeding $200,000.
  • Gibson-Burrell was granted bail after a magistrate determined that a stable residence, a $30,000 surety, and strict conditions reduced his risk of reoffending.
  • His bail conditions include a 9 PM to 6 AM curfew, a ban on possessing graffiti tools, and residing with his 'no-nonsense' grandmother in Geelong.
