Two Men Charged Over Melbourne's Notorious 'Pam the Bird' Graffiti

The pair face over 70 charges, including criminal damage and theft, with cleanup costs exceeding $100,000.

A 21-year-old man from Yarraville and a 39-year-old man from Abbotsford have been arrested for their alleged roles in creating the 'Pam the Bird' graffiti across Melbourne and Geelong.
The graffiti appeared on prominent landmarks, including Flinders Street Station, the 'Cheese Stick' column on CityLink, and the Novotel Hotel in South Wharf, as well as suburban trains.
Police estimate the total cost of damages caused by the graffiti exceeds $100,000, with some incidents involving abseiling to access hard-to-reach locations.
The 21-year-old also faces charges related to a December 2024 incident where a stolen car was rammed into a Footscray restaurant, spray-painted with slogans.
Both men have been remanded in custody and are set to appear in Melbourne Magistrates' Court as investigations continue.
