Operation Rose (later known as the Douglas Lane Robbery) was a meticulously planned gold bullion robbery on King Douglas Lane in London, in November 1982, which involved three armed robbers stopping the bullion truck, and several armed corrupt police officers, headed by DCI Carnegie and Martin Summers, taking the gold instead. The operation was foiled by DCI Gene Hunt and his team after a tipoff from DI Alex Drake, who had studied the operation in the future and met the future counterpart of Summers.
