Gibson-Burrell 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.
In 2022, Gibson-Burrell avoided jail after he vandalised a train on the Gold Coast and turned his spray can on a security guard.
Police executed search warrants yesterday 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.
Mathew White, 39, from Abbotsford was also arrested.
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 will be held in custody until a bail decision on Tuesday.
