Homeland Security agents raided Josh Duggar's Arkansas car dealership on Wednesday but they will not say what the nature of their investigation is

Homeland security officers were seen searching Josh Duggar's work on Wednesday as part of a secret criminal investigation.

Duggar, who rose to fame with his family on their TLC show but left the show after unearthed police reports showed that he'd confessed to molesting four of his sisters when they were all underage, works at a car dealership in Arkansas.

Agents were seen searching the rural property, and a Homeland Security spokesman confirmed they were there but would not say why.

A family spokesman has insisted that neither he nor any other member of their family is the target of a criminal investigation.

Earlier this week, they denied reports that their home had been raided.

By Wednesday afternoon, many of the listings for vehicles that had been on the dealership's website were gone.

Last November, RadarOnline reported that the car dealership was 'illegal'.

They said that he did not have the proper license to run the lot as a business site, despite owning it.

On Tuesday, there were reports that Homeland Security agents were searching the family's home.

Agents were seen at Wholesale Motorcars, the dealership, in Arkansas on Wednesday

The dealership's website used to look like this but by Wednesday afternoon, almost all of the listings had been wiped

They issued a statement denying it, writing on their shared Instagram account: 'We were shocked to see a news report today state that our home was raided by federal law enforcement agencies.

'This is not true. To the best of our knowledge, it's also not true that any member of our family is the target of any investigation of any kind.

'Living a life in the public's eye has taught us that it is best not to reply to every rumor and piece of 'fake news' that is circulated online.

'It would be a full-time job if we attempted to do so.'

The family did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's inquiries about the presence of ICE agents at the dealership.

The Duggar family are famously known for television reality shows titled '19 Kids and Counting' and 'Counting On'

For ten seasons, 19 Kids and Counting chronicled the home life of Arkansas couple Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their 19 children.

But TLC cancelled the show in 2015 shortly after reports surfaced that Josh Duggar, then 27, molested four younger sisters when he was a teenager.

In 2015, Josh's parents said that he admitted to them in 2002 having touched the breast area and genitals of some of the other children, including sisters Jill and Jessa, several times.

Josh went to Christian counseling for several months as a result.

That same summer — just a month after Josh and Anna welcomed their fourth child, Meredith — a hacker released user information for the adultery website Ashley Madison and Josh was found among those who had used the services.

His profile included interests like 'one-night stands and 'experimenting with sex toys.'

Josh admitted publicly to infidelity and having a porn addiction, calling himself 'the biggest hypocrite ever' in a statement.
