Los Angeles influencer Adva Lavie also known as Mia Ventura was arrested again Tuesday night July 28 2026 in Beverly Hills while out on bail after prosecutors accused her of forming relationships with men and women through dating apps then stealing cash gold and designer goods from their homes. Beverly Hills police encountered the twenty nine year old on the sidewalk along North Cannon Boulevard near Brighton Way around 10:30 p.m. and took her into custody on an active felony warrant from Riverside County. Officers immediately noticed she was not wearing the court ordered ankle monitor required as a condition of her earlier release. A judge revoked her bail the next day and ordered her held without bond pending further hearings.
Lavie was born July 10, 1997, and built a public profile as a Los Angeles model social media influencer and OnlyFans creator who appeared in Playboy and Penthouse. She often presented herself as a glamorous jet-setting figure with an Israeli background and past service in the Israel Defense Forces though those military claims remain unconfirmed by official sources. Detectives describe her as approximately five feet seven inches tall and one hundred four pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She has used additional names including Mia Ventura Shoshana Shana and Mia Shana while operating online.
Prosecutors say the core scheme ran from 2023 to 2025. Lavie used dating apps to start conversations and cultivate romantic or companion relationships with wealthy older men as well as younger men and women in Westlake Village West Hollywood Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. Once trust was established she posed as a girlfriend or travel companion to gain entry to their homes. Inside those residences she took cash gold jewelry and high end designer clothing purses and accessories. Investigators later learned the pattern expanded beyond older male targets to include anyone she found an opportunity to steal from including businesses. After a Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department public bulletin sought additional victims more than a dozen people came forward with similar accounts some from outside California including Nevada Florida and locations in Europe.
One earlier incident involved a podcast appearance in Las Vegas. Guests later reported that cash and credit cards disappeared from the green room while Lavie briefly left the recording. Charges then appeared on at least one stolen card at a Beverly Hills salon under the name Mia Ventura. In another episode she invited a fellow model on a trip to Ibiza then allegedly used the other woman as bait to draw older men before photographing their credit cards when they were distracted. Those accounts formed part of the broader picture that led to formal charges.
The separate Riverside County case that triggered the latest arrest centers on the 2025 Coachella Music Festival. Lavie spent time with a man at an Airbnb in the Indio area. After he refused to give her a free festival wristband she allegedly entered his Tesla parked outside the property. Home surveillance video captured her removing a Rolex valued at about eighty six hundred dollars Louis Vuitton sunglasses worth roughly seven hundred dollars and a Louis Vuitton card holder valued near two thousand dollars for a combined total exceeding eleven thousand dollars. That grand theft warrant remained active when Beverly Hills officers happened upon her in late July.
Tracking began with victim reports and the public bulletin that generated new leads. The ankle monitor was intended to keep authorities informed of her location while she awaited trial on the Los Angeles County counts. Its removal violated court orders and provided additional grounds for detention. The chance sidewalk encounter allowed officers to execute the outstanding warrant without a planned search. She was previously released after pleading not guilty to the six Los Angeles felonies which include two counts of unauthorized use of personal identifying information two counts of grand theft one count of first degree residential burglary with a person present and one count of first degree residential burglary. Official charging details appear in the Los Angeles County District Attorney statement.
If convicted on the existing Los Angeles County charges alone Lavie faces a maximum of eleven years and eight months in state prison. The new Riverside County case and the monitor violation add further exposure and currently keep her in custody without bail. Her attorney has declined public comment. The sequence illustrates how online relationship building can mask repeated property crimes and how electronic monitoring conditions when ignored can lead to swift re detention. Readers can review the primary case summary through the Los Angeles County District Attorney materials for the original six counts and related public records.
