20 stolen vehicles were seized in Poland.

20 motorcycles were found in Poland (and four cars were seized separately).

According to swedenherald.com

Context: Minor discrepancy: polisen.se says 20 stolen vehicles (including ATVs?), while swedenherald.com specifies 20 motorcycles and separately mentions four cars seized. This could affect the total count of recovered vehicles.

31 vehicles are still missing.

According to polisen.se

Just over 30 vehicles are still missing.

According to swedenherald.com

Context: Minor numerical difference: 31 vs 'just over 30'. This is likely a rounding difference but could indicate uncertainty in the exact count.
