A Los Angeles influencer accused of stealing over $11,000 in luxury goods from dating app victims sits behind bars without bail after authorities say she cut off her court-ordered ankle monitor while awaiting trial on felony burglary charges.

Dating App Theft Operation Exposed

Adva Lavie, 28, who operates under the alias Mia Ventura, was arrested Tuesday night in Beverly Hills following months of electronic monitoring. Prosecutors allege Lavie spent years cultivating relationships with wealthy older men and younger women through dating apps and luxury companion websites. She allegedly posed as a girlfriend or travel companion to gain access to victims’ homes across Westlake Village, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and Beverly Hills, then systematically stole cash, gold, credit cards, and designer items.

A judge revoked her release and scheduled a bail review hearing for Friday in Van Nuys. Court records reveal Lavie also faces an outstanding Riverside County warrant in a separate grand theft case involving luxury items stolen during the 2025 Coachella Music Festival.

Coachella Festival Theft Allegations

The Riverside County case centers on accusations that Lavie stole an $8,600 Rolex watch, $700 Louis Vuitton Aviator sunglasses, and a $1,800 Louis Vuitton cardholder from a man she attended Coachella with in April. Prosecutors say the victim invited Lavie to stay at an Airbnb in Indio during the festival weekend. After an argument, she allegedly took the luxury items from his unlocked Tesla Cybertruck before departing. Surveillance cameras captured the alleged theft, and investigators identified Lavie from the footage.

Lavie failed to appear for her scheduled May arraignment in the Riverside case, prompting a judge to issue a $20,000 arrest warrant. She remains unbooked in Riverside County as of Thursday afternoon, with no in-custody arraignment scheduled.

Pattern of Targeting Wealthy Victims

Los Angeles County prosecutors charged Lavie in March with six felony counts, including two counts of grand theft, two counts of first-degree residential burglary, and two counts of unauthorized use of personal identifying information. She pleaded not guilty to all charges. District Attorney Nathan Hochman emphasized that prosecutors would prove Lavie systematically exploited trust built through online relationships. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department released photos of luxury vehicles Lavie allegedly drove during the theft spree, including a white Mercedes-Benz coupe and a black Porsche SUV.
