Authorities are seeking additional victims of suspect Adva Lavie, who is accused of a series of residential burglaries.
LOS ANGELES - Social media influencer and OnlyFans model Adva Lavie, also known as Mia Ventura, was arrested in Beverly Hills while out on bond in connection with a high-profile series of dating app burglaries.
What we know:
Lavie, 28, was arrested around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday by Beverly Hills police near North Cannon Boulevard and Brighton Way for a separate theft allegation in Riverside County.
According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, Lavie also faces a misdemeanor violation of a court order after she allegedly removed her ankle monitor.
On Wednesday, a judge blocked Lavie’s release and ordered her to be held without bail.
A bail hearing is scheduled for Friday in Van Nuys.
The backstory:
Authorities state that between 2023 and 2025, Lavie developed relationships through dating apps and "Sugar Daddy" websites to pose as a girlfriend and travel companion.
She allegedly stole cash, gold, credit cards, and designer items from the homes of wealthy individuals in Westlake Village, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and Beverly Hills.
In March 2026, she pleaded not guilty to 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—and was released from custody with an electronic ankle monitor.
Her fiancé, billionaire Stephen Cloobeck, was also arrested on separate felony charges for allegedly attempting to dissuade witnesses from testifying against her.
