Red Lion, Pennsylvania

Kathryn Khuc, a 44-year-old former employee of Kinsley Construction, has been charged with stealing nearly $100,000 from the company. The charges were officially filed by the Pennsylvania State Police in Springfield Township on July 31, 2025. Khuc faces serious allegations that include ten felony counts of knowledge that property is proceeds of an illegal act, ten counts of theft by unlawful taking, and ten counts of receiving stolen property.

Following the filing of charges, Khuc was arraigned and released on $100,000 unsecured bail on August 1, 2025. The total amount that authorities allege she misappropriated from Kinsley Enterprise, Inc. stands at $95,583.51.

According to reports, Kinsley Enterprises is a prominent construction firm in York County, managing the business assets of the Kinsley family, including Kinsley Construction. The investigation into Khuc’s actions began after executives at Kinsley Construction alerted the police on April 8, 2025, regarding discrepancies in financial transactions.

Khuc was employed by Kinsley Construction for over a decade, from December 2012 until her termination in December 2025. Her last position at the company was senior controller of financial systems from 2023 to 2025. Her responsibilities included preparing a bank transaction log. However, following her departure, it was discovered that Khuc reportedly failed to complete the financial log for the last two years of her employment.

Management’s investigation uncovered ten suspicious transactions that had been sent to a bank account not linked to Kinsley. These transactions were misrepresented as routine payments to Highmark and Express Scripts, but upon validation, both companies confirmed that the invoice numbers associated with the payments were invalid and that no record of these payments existed.

A search warrant executed on Khuc’s bank accounts revealed one account belonging to the Sai Gon Cafe in Lancaster County, allegedly owned by Khuc and her husband. The cafe, located on Manheim Pike in Manheim Township, has been operating as a family-owned business since 2004. Notably, the account for the cafe showed a negative balance in April 2024 shortly before the first alleged payments from Kinsley accounts.

According to police disclosures, Khuc is accused of using the cafe’s account to cover payments for business supplies, rent, and payroll. After the investigation began, police contacted Khuc on July 9, 2025; however, she refused to discuss the matter, stating she had retained legal counsel.

A preliminary hearing for Khuc is set for August 15, 2025, wherein the court will determine if there is enough evidence to proceed with the case. Khuc is currently being represented by Steve Rice Law. Efforts by media outlets to reach Khuc through her attorney or Kinsley Enterprises for further comments have been unsuccessful as of Tuesday afternoon.
