Adva Lavie, 28, also known as Mia Ventura, a Los Angeles influencer accused of targeting wealthy individuals through dating apps and then stealing from them, was arrested Tuesday night in Beverly Hills. Authorities stated Lavie violated the terms of her release by allegedly removing the electronic ankle monitor she was required to wear while awaiting trial on felony burglary charges.
A judge has since revoked Lavie's release, ordered her held without bail, and scheduled a bail review hearing for Friday. Court records also indicate Lavie was arrested on an outstanding warrant from Riverside County related to a separate grand theft case.
Prosecutors in Riverside County charged Lavie in April with felony grand theft, alleging she stole over $11,000 in luxury items during the 2025 Coachella Music Festival. The items reportedly included an approximately $8,600 Rolex watch, $700 Louis Vuitton sunglasses, and a $1,800 Louis Vuitton cardholder. According to the arrest warrant, Lavie allegedly took these items from a man she stayed with at an Airbnb after an argument. Surveillance footage from the Airbnb reportedly captured the alleged theft, and detectives identified Lavie from the video. She is also a suspect in another grand theft reported at the same property.
Lavie failed to appear for her scheduled May arraignment in the Riverside case, prompting a judge to issue a $20,000 arrest warrant. As of Thursday afternoon, she had not been booked into Riverside County jail.
Her recent arrest follows charges filed by Los Angeles County prosecutors in March, accusing her of a burglary spree targeting wealthy individuals across Southern California using dating apps and "Sugar Daddy" websites. Prosecutors allege Lavie cultivated relationships with affluent individuals to gain access to their homes, where she then stole cash, gold, credit cards, and designer items from victims in Westlake Village, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and Beverly Hills.
Lavie has pleaded not guilty to six felony charges in the Los Angeles case, including two counts of grand theft, two counts of first-degree residential burglary, and two counts of unauthorized use of personal identifying information. She was released on electronic monitoring prior to her latest arrest.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman stated at the time of the March charges that prosecutors intended to demonstrate Lavie exploited the trust built through online relationships. "Her ability to deceptively influence others, whether in person or online, has now come to an end," Hochman said.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department had previously released a public bulletin identifying Lavie and displaying luxury vehicles investigators linked to the alleged crime spree, including a white Mercedes-Benz coupe and a black Porsche SUV. Lavie's fiancé, billionaire entrepreneur Stephen Cloobeck, was reportedly arrested on separate felony charges related to allegedly attempting to dissuade witnesses from testifying against her.
If convicted on all six felony counts in the Los Angeles County case, Lavie faces a potential sentence of up to 11 years and eight months in state prison.
