Witnesses say people have been leaving the Croydon cemetery with large containers filled with water.
Croydon Council said installing a security camera close to the cemetery tap was "not an option".
Witnesses say people were filling large containers from taps meant to be used for vases of flowers at Mitcham Road Cemetery, Croydon, before driving off. "This particular chap was just in an ordinary car. In the back I could see he had several large water containers. I thought, that's a lot to just water flowers on a grave. But then he did a three point turn and went out," he said.
Mr Dettmar said he had witnessed it happening several times while on walks with his wife and had spoken with cemetery staff about the issue.: "Croydon Council's 2022/23 budget included a forecast of £444,000 for supplies and services related to the borough's two cemeteries and another £41,000 for what is described as 'premises related expenditure'."
