Faroe Islands Police arrested a 17-year-old man on Monday after customs officials seized 48 grams of MDMA at Tórshavn port.
The man arrived in the country on board passenger ferry Norrøna.
A sniffer dog found the drugs hidden in his luggage.
The man was interrogated and eventually released, but he will be taken to court at a later date, writes Kringvarp Føroya.
