Police have charged a former worker with Edmonton Public Schools with forgery and fraud over $5,000 for allegedly faking asbestos reports over two years.

And Jason McCallum is still at large.

Police say their search for the 50-year-old has been unsuccessful so far. They issued warrants for his arrest at the end of July.

According to EPS, between May 2018 and August 2020, McCallum was hired to perform asbestos testing in schools, and it was determined those tests were falsified.

Police charged McCallum and a 48-year-old woman with the offences following a lengthy investigation.

The relationship between the two is unclear.
