Two men suspected of trafficking narcotics through Oklahoma are in custody.

Their arrests stem from an opium investigation.

Thirteen-and-a half pounds of the drug was mailed to a small post office in Delaware County.

Investigators say the package started out in Laos; some red flags went up once the box made it to customs in Dallas.

Federal agents were notified and a sting operation was set-up at the post office in Colcord.

That's where investigators say 32-year-old Xue Yang and 25-year-old Wang Chong Khang picked-up the delivery.

The two were arrested moments later.

Immigration agents are also investigating the case.

The two men are scheduled to be back in a Delaware County courtroom on Monday.
