You ain't nothin' but a jailbird . . .
Elvis Presley made his fortune shaking his hips, but he’s inspired a robber in England who prefers to make his by shaking bookies down, according to the Sun.
The rocking robber, who was armed, held up a Ladbrokes betting shop in Brighton, England, yesterday and rolled the place for between $634 and $793 while wearing an Elvis Presley-style disguise -- complete with fake sideburns and Aviator sunglasses, the BBC reported.
Police suspect the Presley-inspired burglar also held up a William Hill betting parlor on July 7, except he wore a fake beard instead of the fake sideburns. Witnesses say he had a black handgun and grabbed a set of keys before escaping, sources told Brighton and Hove News.
No one was hurt in either robbery.
Police are combing the area looking for the suspect who is 6 ft. with dark hair. And they are hoping to have him in handcuffs the next time he leaves the building.
ELVIS Presley is alive! He’s working in Brighton…as a bank robber.
He’s held up two second betting shops in Brighton and Hove in just four days, stealing between £400 and £500 from Ladbroke’s bookmaker’s in Dyke Road, Brighton, and more cash from William Hill betting shop in George Street, Hove. He is armed with what appears to be a black handgun.
If anyone sees Elvis they should call the tabloids and then ask him what the hell went wrong and how Diana and the kids are…
Of course, it might be a disguise. Anorak’s research tells us that the Top Five celebrity disguises for bank robbers are:
Osama bin Laden
Noel Edmonds
Gordon Brown
A Swiss gnome
Phil Mitchell
