SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) - Two brothers have been arrested after police said they stole money being collected to help support veterans.
   
Police said Wednesday that Brandon and Brian Baird were arrested and face theft charges.
   
According to police, the brothers stole a donation jar from a Surprise Walmart that was being collected by volunteers for veterans of foreign wars.
