Socal Scandal: Playboy Model Accused Of Targeting Elderly Men In La Burglary Spree

LA's Latest Crime Drama Unfolds

Los Angeles is no stranger to wild stories, but this one’s got a plot twist straight out of a Netflix thriller. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department dropped a bombshell on October 8, announcing they’re hunting for 28-year-old Adva Lavie, a model who’s strutted her stuff in Playboy and Penthouse, not to mention running an OnlyFans account. But it’s not her magazine spreads or social media game that’s got the cops buzzing - it’s her alleged side hustle of targeting elderly men for some seriously shady business.

Lavie, who also goes by aliases like Mia Ventura, Shoshana, or Shana, is accused of working her charm online to cozy up to older gents across LA County. Once she’s got their trust, authorities say she flips the script, burglarizing their homes while posing as a girlfriend or companion. It’s a cold move in a city that’s already seen its share of SoCal scams.

Who Is Adva Lavie?

Described by the sheriff’s department as a 5’7”, 104-pound woman with brown hair and brown eyes, Lavie isn’t hard to spot - especially when she’s allegedly rolling around town in a sleek black Porsche SUV or a white Mercedes-Benz sedan. She’s got the kind of vibe that screams Malibu beach parties, but her rap sheet tells a different story. The department warns she’s been linked to a string of residential burglaries throughout the county, using social media and dating apps to find her marks.

Right now, Lavie isn’t in custody, though reports say she was arrested back in May and bonded out. It’s unclear if that bust ties into this burglary investigation, but one thing’s for sure - the streets of LA are watching. From Hollywood Hills to the Valley, folks are buzzing about whether this model’s next photoshoot will be a mugshot.

A Conspiracy or Just Caught?

Speaking of drama, Lavie herself isn’t staying quiet. In a statement that’s got tongues wagging from DTLA to Santa Monica, she claimed to be blindsided by the accusations.

“I just woke up to all this mess, and it’s news to me. When you’re tight with someone super powerful in this town, you don’t wanna cross them - they can mess up your whole life,”

she said, hinting at some big-time conspiracy cooked up by a heavy hitter. Is this a case of an LA power player pulling strings, or just a model caught in a web of her own making? With the sheriff’s department still on the case, this SoCal scandal is far from over. Grab your popcorn, Angelenos - this story’s got more twists than a Mulholland Drive ride.
