Red Lion, PA – Kathryn Khuc, a 44-year-old former employee of Kinsley Construction, has been charged with stealing nearly $100,000 from the company. The charges, filed by the Pennsylvania State Police in Springfield Township on July 31, 2025, include 10 felony counts of knowledge that property is proceeds of an illegal act, 10 counts of theft by unlawful taking, and 10 counts of receiving stolen property.
The total amount involved in the alleged theft is $95,583.51, which is said to have been taken from Kinsley Enterprise, Inc., a major construction firm in York County. Khuc was employed by Kinsley from December 2012 until her termination in December 2025, serving as the senior controller of financial systems in the last two years of her tenure. In her role, Khuc was responsible for preparing a bank transaction log.
The management at Kinsley Construction first reported concerns about the theft on April 8, 2025. Following her termination, it became apparent that Khuc had not completed a financial log for the previous two years, raising suspicions among company executives. Investigators found discrepancies involving 10 transactions that were sent to a bank account not associated with Kinsley. Though these transactions appeared to be routine payments to Highmark and Express Scripts, further examination revealed that the invoice numbers listed were invalid, as confirmed by both companies.
A search warrant executed on Khuc’s bank accounts uncovered a connection to the Sai Gon Cafe in Lancaster County, a family-owned business allegedly operated by Khuc and her husband. The cafe is located on Manheim Pike in Manheim Township and has been in operation since 2004. Prior to the first alleged transaction from Kinsley, the cafe’s account had a negative balance in April 2024. Reports indicate that Khuc may have utilized the cafe’s account to cover various expenses, including business supplies, rent, and payroll.
On July 9, 2025, police reached out to Khuc regarding the investigation; however, she declined to engage, stating that she had retained legal counsel. Following her arraignment on August 1, 2025, she was released on $100,000 unsecured bail. A preliminary hearing for Khuc is scheduled for August 15, 2025, and she is currently represented by Steve Rice Law.
Attempts by media to contact Khuc through her attorney and Kinsley Enterprises for further comments were met without response as of the latest updates.
