Adva Lavie, the Los Angeles model and influencer accused of stealing from people she met online, has been arrested again while awaiting trial on six felony charges.
Beverly Hills police took Lavie into custody at approximately 10:30 p.m. on July 28 in connection with a separate theft allegation originating in Riverside County.
Authorities also said Lavie had violated a court order.
They did not publicly identify the condition allegedly breached during the latest incident or disclose what was reportedly taken in the Riverside County case.
Police Arrested Lavie in Beverly Hills
Lavie, who also uses the professional name Mia Ventura, was arrested in central Beverly Hills on Tuesday night. NBC Los Angeles reported that the arrest concerned a possible theft in Riverside County that is separate from the Los Angeles County case already pending against her.
TMZ reported on July 30 that Lavie was being held without bail. She was expected to appear in court that day, but the outcome of that appearance had not been publicly reported when the initial coverage was published.
She Was Already Facing Six Felony Charges

Lavie previously pleaded not guilty to two counts of unauthorized use of personal identifying information, two counts of grand theft, one count of first-degree residential burglary with a person present and one count of first-degree residential burglary.
A judge ruled on March 23 that prosecutors had presented sufficient evidence for the case to proceed toward trial. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office alleges that Lavie used dating apps and social media between 2023 and 2025 to develop relationships with wealthy older men and younger women.
Prosecutors claim she posed as a girlfriend or travel companion to gain access to homes in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Westlake Village and Los Angeles before stealing cash, gold and high-end designer merchandise. Lavie was released while the case remained pending but was required to wear an electronic ankle monitor and stay away from the named alleged victims.
Police said Lavie was violating a court order when they arrested her. A judge allowed her to remain out of custody at that time but reportedly warned that another unauthorized trip could result in detention without bail.
The Riverside County Case Remains Separate
The District Attorney’s Office has said Lavie could face as much as 11 years and eight months in state prison if convicted on all counts in the existing case. That potential sentence does not include any charge that might emerge from the Riverside County investigation.
Both the pending Los Angeles County charges and the new Riverside County theft allegation remain unproven. Lavie is presumed innocent unless prosecutors establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
