Authorities in Los Angeles say a woman accused of using dating apps to target and burglarize mostly affluent elderly men may have dozens of victims across the county. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, 39-year-old Adva Lavie—who also goes by the name “Mia Ventura”—allegedly met her victims through online dating platforms, presented herself as a girlfriend or companion, and then stole cash, jewelry, and designer goods from their homes.

An Expensive Date

In a bulletin released last week, the department said it’s seeking additional victims who may have encountered Lavie through apps or social sites. “She poses as a girlfriend or companion, and burglarizes their residence,” the alert reads. Capt. Dustin Karr said the investigation began nearly two weeks ago when a man came forward to report that valuables had gone missing from his home after meeting Lavie. “Since then, numerous victims have come forward,” Karr said Friday. “We’ve been getting dozens of calls. There’s been a lot of follow-ups from victims to our detectives.”

This Isn’t Her First Rodeo

Karr said detectives later discovered that Lavie has been investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department for similar crimes. She is currently out on bond in a separate case. “Affluent elderly men seem to be her primary demographic,” Karr said. “But we’ve since found out that there’s been victims across several demographics.” Lavie allegedly took items “that could be easily concealed or held,” such as credit cards, cash, jewelry, and luxury accessories, authorities said.

There May Be Dozens of Victims

Detective Angela Lopez of the sheriff’s department said at least 10 people have formally reported stolen property, but she’s fielded dozens more calls from individuals and even businesses who suspect they’ve been targeted. “Basically, she’ll come to the house and then leave, and then the victim will later notice that something is missing,” Lopez said. “She scams them out of their valuables.”

Authorities Want More Victims To Come Forward

Among the stolen items are credit cards, cash, and designer handbags and clothing. Lopez said some victims were younger men and women, suggesting Lavie may not have confined her efforts to one group. No attorney information for Lavie was immediately available, and it’s unclear when prosecutors may file new charges. Authorities said the investigation remains active and that additional charges could follow as more victims are identified. “If there’s any victims out there that’d like to come forward, we’re respecting your confidentiality,” Karr said. “We understand the sensitive nature of what has occurred, and we just want our victims to feel confident in telling us what happened to them.”
