Red Lion, PA – Kathryn Khuc, a 44-year-old resident of Red Lion, has been charged with theft from Kinsley Construction, amounting to nearly $100,000. The Pennsylvania State Police filed charges against Khuc on July 31, 2025, citing a total of $95,583.51 alleged to have been taken from Kinsley Enterprise, Inc., a major construction company based in York County.
Khuc faces multiple felony counts, including 10 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. Following her arraignment on August 1, 2025, she was released on $100,000 unsecured bail.
The investigation began when executives at Kinsley Construction reported the theft to police on April 8, 2025. Khuc had been employed at Kinsley since December 2012 and served as the senior controller of financial systems from 2023 until her termination in December 2025. Her responsibilities included maintaining a bank transaction log, a task in which she reportedly failed during her last two years of employment.
Upon her termination, Kinsley management identified 10 suspicious transactions that were sent to a bank account not affiliated with the company. These transactions, although appearing to be routine payments to Highmark and Express Scripts, were misrepresented with fraudulent invoice numbers. Upon inquiry, both Highmark and Express Scripts confirmed that no valid invoices were associated with the referenced payments.
Further scrutiny into Khuc’s finances revealed a bank account linked to the Sai Gon Cafe, allegedly owned by her and her husband, located in Lancaster County. This family-owned business has been operational since 2004. Initially, the cafe’s account had a negative balance in April 2024, prior to the alleged illicit transactions with Kinsley accounts. Prosecutors believe Khuc utilized the funds for business supplies, rent, and payroll for the cafe.
Police attempted to contact Khuc for questioning on July 9, 2025, but she opted not to engage, citing the presence of her legal counsel. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for August 15, 2025, and she is represented by Steve Rice Law.
As of Tuesday afternoon, attempts to reach Khuc through her attorney and representatives of Kinsley Enterprises have not yielded any responses.
