Alleged ‘Pam the Bird’ graffiti creator denied bail as court hears of social media-driven reoffending risk Jack Gibson-Burrell, 21, to remain behind bars over concerns the prolific design would continue across Melbourne if he was released.
A Melbourne man alleged to be the creator of the prolific “Pam the Bird” graffiti will remain behind bars, with a magistrate saying there was a risk of him continuing to target prominent locations to boost his social media notoriety if released.
Sen Const Scott Nicholls on Tuesday said police believed Gibson-Burrell would continue offending if released and had serious concerns about the dangerous and costly nature of the alleged incidents.
Jack Gibson-Burrell, 21, appeared in the Melbourne magistrates court on Wednesday morning where he was denied bail over concerns he would commit a serious offence if released.
Refusing his bail application, the magistrate Johanna Metcalf said the “totality” of the alleged offending showed a “disregard for the law”.
