CCTV installed at Karl Marx’s grave in Highgate cemetery
Cameras intended as vandalism deterrent after it was twice defaced this year
Surveillance cameras have been installed in Highgate cemetery to watch over the tomb of Karl Marx after it was vandalised twice this year.
The CCTV devices have been mounted on two tree trunks either side of the Grade I-listed monument. Meanwhile, a marble plaque that was severely damaged in the attacks, in January and February 2019, has been removed for restoration.
