Who is Adva Lavie? Police Search for LA Model Accused of Luring and Robbing Men

Authorities in Los Angeles are actively searching for Adva Lavie, an Israeli social media personality wanted in connection with multiple residential burglaries targeting elderly men across L.A. County. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reports that Lavie, who is also known by aliases such as Mia Ventura, Shoshana, and Shana, allegedly used dating apps and social media platforms to pose as a girlfriend or companion before committing the crimes.

“Detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Malibu/Lost Hills Station are requesting the public’s assistance with locating similar victims of Suspect Adva Lavie. Suspect Lavie has been involved in a series of residential burglaries throughout LA County, targeting older men and posing as a girlfriend or companion on social media dating platforms and applications,” the department stated on October 9.

Lavie is described as a female adult, approximately 5’7″ tall and weighing 104 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She is known to drive a black Porsche SUV and a white Mercedes-Benz sedan.

Anyone with information regarding her whereabouts is encouraged to contact Lost Hills Station Detective Lopez at 818-878-1808 or LAPD Detective Marsh at 818-374-9500. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS (8477) or via the P3 Tips mobile app.

Born in Israel, Lavie served two years in the Israel Defense Forces before becoming a flight attendant. According to her profile on 21st Century Penthouse, she transitioned into online content creation after losing her job during the COVID-19 pandemic and later joined HoneyDrip in 2022. She has appeared in Playboy and Penthouse magazines and claims to be Israel’s top OnlyFans model.

Lavie denies all allegations against her. In a statement to The Daily Mail, she said, “I think when you probably hang out with someone really powerful and someone really connected, if you piss them off, it’s problematic because they can really f*** you over.” When pressed for clarification, she reportedly ended the conversation.

Several individuals have publicly accused Lavie of theft. Adult film star Cody Steele claimed Lavie stole luxury items from an Airbnb he rented in Los Angeles. Michael Sartain, host of the Access Vegas podcast, alleged that Lavie stole credit cards and cash from female panelists’ purses during a podcast recording. Eden Lynn, another victim, reported that Lavie took multiple credit cards, IDs, and cash, including charges made under the alias Mia Ventura.

“I got in contact with the salon and the stylist she booked with, and they gave me the name it was put under. She sent shots of the consultation FaceTime she did with her and the receipts and text messages,” Lynn said, providing evidence of the alleged fraud.

Law enforcement officials continue to urge anyone with information to come forward as the investigation into Lavie’s activities remains ongoing.
