Concord police on Friday arrested the second of two brothers suspected of stealing $700 in cash from a popular cheese shop two days before Christmas, officials said.

Jason Faieta, 36, was apprehended one week after his brother, Brandon Faieta, 33, a former employee of the Concord Cheese Shop, Concord Police Chief Joseph O’Connor said Saturday.

The brothers, who are from Clinton, were each charged with breaking and entering into a building in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony, larceny under $1,200, larceny from a building, and receiving stolen property under $1,200, O’Connor said in a statement Friday.

At 12:33 a.m. on Dec. 23, Concord police responded to Concord Cheese Shop on Walden Street after the security alarm was triggered by the back door opening. At the scene, police saw a ladder leading up to a second story window on the back wall of the shop, O’Connor said.

Someone with a key to the building was called to the shop. Police entered and found that $700 in cash had been stolen, O’Connor said.
