What do you think of Pam The Bird?

The clean-up bill for the graffiti was expected to be more than $24,200 after the bird and the phrase “MY CLOCK” were spray-painted on the building.

It’s alleged the man was also responsible for graffiti plastered across the rail network as well as the ‘Cheese Stick’ column on CityLink, a television station building in Docklands and concrete silos on Mercer Street in Geelong.

More recently, ‘Pam the Bird’ was spotted on top of the Novotel Hotel at South Wharf on January 20.

The total damage is estimated at more than $100,000.

The 21-year-old man is also facing charges in relation to an incident in Footscray where an allegedly stolen car was driven through the front window of a Barkly Street restaurant early on December 20, last year.

Police executed search warrants on January 30 at addresses in Yarraville and Abbotsford.

Items including spray paint, illegal fireworks, abseiling equipment and property suspected to be the proceeds of crime were all seized.
