The relocation of EagleBank's downtown Bethesda branch created a briefly-dramatic scene in the Woodmont Triangle last Thursday afternoon. While much of the low-security items like furniture were quietly moved out of the space at 7815 Woodmont Avenue last week, on Thursday, it was time to move the safe deposit boxes to the new EagleBank location at 7735 Old Georgetown Road.
A police escort provided an armed convoy for the short move approximately a block away. Armed Montgomery County police officers stood watch as the safe deposit boxes were loaded onto a truck. The convoy then started off, driving around Veterans Park, and turning a number of heads in the process. At the new bank, parking meters out front had been bagged in advance to clear space for the entourage. The safe deposit boxes were then moved into the new branch without incident.
