Members of Victoria Police's Transit Divisional Response Unit have charged a man over a series of 'Pam the Bird' images graffitied on city landmarks.
The 21-year-old man, from Yarraville, was arrested on 30th January.
He is facing more than 50 charges including criminal damage, burglary, shop theft and theft of a motor vehicle.
In one of the most high-profile incidents, it's alleged the man scaled and defaced the heritage listed Flinders Street Railway Station clock tower on 10 July 2024.
It's alleged he is 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.
In the latest incident graffiti was on 20 January 2025 daubed across a hotel in South Wharf.
The total damage of the offending is estimated at more than $100,000.
The man has also been charged over an incident in Footscray where an allegedly stolen car was driven through the front window of a Barkly Street restaurant early on 20 December 2024.
Police executed search warrants on 30 January at addresses in Yarraville and Abbotsford.
Numerous items were seized including spray paint, illegal fireworks, abseiling equipment and property suspected to be the proceeds of crime.
As part of their investigations police also arrested a 39-year-old man from Abbotsford.
He has been charged with more than 20 criminal damage offences relating to the graffiti of suburban trains and the Docklands office building.
Both men have been remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 31st January, 2025.
