Summary
Riverside County charged Ava Lavie, 29, with felony grand theft tied to an April 12, 2025 alleged theft in Indio, and court records show an arrest warrant in that case remains active.
Indio police said the alleged victim invited Lavie to Coachella, where a dispute over a festival wristband preceded the theft of an $8,600 Rolex, $700 Louis Vuitton glasses and an $1,800 Louis Vuitton wallet from his 2025 Tesla Cybertruck.
Garage surveillance video allegedly captured the theft, while police said a separate Riverside-area case involving $25,000 in property was not filed because prosecutors found insufficient evidence.
The new case adds to Los Angeles County charges filed in March alleging Lavie used dating apps from 2023 to 2025 to gain access to victims' homes and steal cash, gold and designer goods; she was arrested this week in Beverly Hills.
It remains unclear whether the Riverside and Los Angeles cases will be consolidated, as Lavie also faces travel restrictions and related scrutiny around her fiance Stephen Cloobeck's separate witness-dissuasion case.
