Alleged 'Pam' vandal a jailbird, co-accused set free

It's alleged Gibson-Burrell has been breaking into Victorian train stations, abseiling off buildings and scaling heritage-listed sites to spray-paint the cartoon-like "Pam the Bird".

The murals have garnered an Instagram following of more than 70,000 people, with police enlisting the US Federal Bureau of Investigation to prove Gibson-Burrell is also the one behind the account.

Magistrate Johanna Metcalf said Gibson-Burrell would likely commit further offences while on bail to boost the Instagram following.

"There is a risk of continued and escalated 'Pam the Bird' exploits to maintain the profile and notoriety of the graffiti," she said on Wednesday.

Gibson-Burrell is further accused of punching a worker in the face at Emporium Melbourne, stealing multiple cars in Torquay and ramraiding a Nandos store in Footscray.

He is also a suspect in an alleged violent stabbing, although he has not been charged over the incident, Senior Constable Nicholls previously told the court.

The officer said Gibson-Burrell was a notorious vandal who would continue to cause "chaos" if released on bail.

But defence barrister Jonathan Miller said the case was circumstantial and his client was planning to fight the charges, meaning there would be delays.

Ms Metcalf accepted there could be delays but she found his time on remand would not necessarily exceed a sentence if found guilty.

She also determined Gibson-Burrell was at risk of endangering himself or other members of the community if released on bail.

White, who is accused of photographing Gibson-Burrell during some of the "Pam the Bird" offending, gave a sigh as he learnt he would be released on bail.

Ms Metcalf found there were compelling reasons to release him and strict bail conditions could reduce the risk to the community.

The pair are due back in Melbourne Magistrates Court in June.
