A file photo by Long An Police shows cigarettes seized from smugglers.
The incident took place when customs officers were chasing after smugglers on a river in the Mekong Delta.
A tobacco smuggler was killed in a crash following a boat chase between customs officers and his gang in the Vam Co Tay River in Long An Province, the province customs department said Friday.
Caught red handed by the customs in Kien Tuong Town on Tuesday night, a group of smugglers managed to escape by transferring all the cigarettes from their motorbikes to a motorboat and ran away.
