Overview
- Lavie was taken into custody late Tuesday by Beverly Hills police on North Cannon Boulevard in connection with a separate Riverside County theft allegation, police and local reporting said.
- She remains formally charged from March with counts including unauthorized use of personal identifying information, grand theft and first-degree residential burglary and had been released on an electronic ankle monitor after pleading not guilty.
- Beverly Hills police say Lavie is in violation of a court order, a development that could lead to stricter detention or revocation of her monitored release ahead of upcoming court appearances.
- Prosecutors allege that from 2023 to 2025 Lavie used dating apps to cultivate relationships with wealthy older men and younger women, then entered homes posing as a partner or travel companion to steal cash, gold and designer items.
- The case spans multiple jurisdictions and, if Lavie is convicted on the combined charges, she faces up to 11 years and eight months in state prison, while the multi-county probe could prompt added charges or custody changes.
