The FBI needs help tracking down two felons who may be in the metro, this after a multi-state drug-trafficking investigation that ended here in Oklahoma.

Federal agents say it took a lot of time unraveling this drug conspiracy, but after three years and 30 arrests it's almost over. Now, authorities' need the public's help to find the two men on the run.

Meth, crack cocaine and marijuana were being funneled from California to Oklahoma in an intricate scheme. Federal agents busted all the suspects except for two men, Tyrone Tanner and Darnell Banks. 

A grand jury indicted Banks also known as "Mouse" for distributing crack cocaine and meth. Court documents show Banks was arrested in 2010 for drug charges and pleaded guilty, but the case was dropped in December.

Tanner's indictment includes meth, cocaine, and other drug distribution. He also faces racketeering and money laundering charges.

Arrests of 30 other suspects were made from Stockton, Cali. all the way to Tulsa and northeast OKC. But two important pieces of the puzzle are still missing

FBI agents believe both Banks and Tanner are still in the metro, but agents haven't found them yet. These last two arrests will reportedly end the three-year investigation.
