Authorities in Los Angeles County say a former Penthouse model has been accused of luring older men through online dating platforms before burglarizing their homes in Malibu and other upscale neighborhoods, as reported by The New York Post.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, 27-year-old Adva Lavie, known professionally as Mia Ventura or “Shana,” has been connected to multiple residential burglaries throughout the area.

Her Penthouse profile stated, “Mesmerizing Mia Ventura worked as a flight attendant for an international airline and was a first-class stewardess. The charismatic cutie no longer makes her living in the air, but she still loves to travel.”
