Elvis Presley has left the betting parlor -- after robbing it!Police in England are hunting for a thief dressed as The King who is behind a pair of hold-ups at British bookmaker offices.
Wearing fake porkchop sideburns and gold-rimmed aviator sunglasses, the impersonator swiveled into a Ladbrokes gambling parlor and pulled a gun on a cashier.
He ran off with a paltry $640 -- not nearly enough to finance the real King's lavish lifestyle.
The cashier was all shook up but unhurt, according to the Daily Mail.
It wasn't the impersonator's first heist, police said.

The same man attempted to rob another betting shop last Thursday wearing a fake bushy beard, according to investigators.
In that incident, he made off with only a set of keys.
The perp -- who stands about 6 feet tall, with a medium build and dark hair -- was caught on video holding the same kind of black handgun in both robberies.
Thousands of small gambling shops -- Ladbrokes alone owns about 2,400 of them -- can be found across the UK, taking bets on everything from sporting events to horseracing.
