Tourist buses have been targeted in Kilkenny City in recent months and quantities of diesel stolen.
The latest incident took place outside a well known hotel on the outskirts of the city earlier this week when approximately 300 litres of diesel was emptied.
A garda spokesperson said that there had been a number of similar incidents and warned drivers to take precautions against this opportunist type of crime.
