Summary
Beverly Hills police arrested influencer Adva Lavie on Tuesday night and booked her on a new felony-level charge, with a court appearance set for Thursday.
Booking records gave no details on the new arrest, but Lavie was already awaiting trial after a judge in March ordered her to stand trial on six felony counts.
Prosecutors say Lavie, also known as Mia Ventura, used dating apps and cultivated friendships from 2023 to 2025 to rob, steal from and extort wealthy older men and younger women across Los Angeles-area communities.
The new arrest follows her earlier release with an ankle monitor and stay-away orders for alleged victims; in May, Stephen Cloobeck was separately arrested on claims he tried to dissuade at least two witnesses from testifying against her.
How did prosecutors say Adva Lavie turned dating apps into an alleged burglary pipeline across Southern California—and why did her ankle monitor removal change everything?
