TUOI TRE
Thousands of packs of cigarettes are smuggled into Ho Chi Minh City from Cambodia every day by bus from Long An.
They are slipped in through the Duc Hue border in Long An in black plastic bags and loaded on bus No. 627 at Hau Nghia station headed for HCMC.
The number of packs per trip sometimes reaches 5,000.
The bus staff use cell phones to keep in touch together and even ignore passengers to focus on delivering the cigarettes.
Tuoi Tre discovered that two of the main drop-off points in HCMC are provincial road No. 10 in Binh Tan District and Xom Voi Street in District 5.
The rest of the cargo continues on to Cho Lon Bus Station from where motorcyclists deliver them to resellers on Hoc Lac Street, District 5 (See video clip).
When Tuoi Tre filmed one such bus crew involved in the smuggling, the cigarettes that were delivered were Jet, a brand banned in Vietnam.
For transporting them 30 kilometers from Long An to HCMC, the transport staff get VND500 to VND700 per pack.
