United State Bank Builds Impregnable Bandit Barrier
Cedar Rapids bank, the United State Bank at 99 Sixteenth Avenue SW, has completed a remodeling costing about 2500 to create a fortified lobby with bullet proof glass and steel walls. President Frank Kanak says the upgrade aims to deter robberies and save on bandit insurance. The bank now features nine gun ports, internal alarm systems, voice panels, steel mesh, and a guarded vault with silent police alarms. Local tests showed glass and steel withstanding powerful revolver fire.
