As of 1990 he works as crime reporter at the newspaper De Telegraaf.

He often appears in the television programme RTL Boulevard to discuss crime-related news. He is also known for presenting various crime-related television programs including Bureau Misdaad, Bureau van den Heuvel and Das je goed recht.

As of December 2017, due to concerns for his safety, he receives full-time protection by the Dienst Koninklijke en Diplomatieke Beveiliging, which also protects the Dutch royal family and other threatened individuals.[1][2] This prevented him from appearing in live broadcasts of RTL Boulevard in 2018.[2][3] In July 2021, Van den Heuvel also stopped appearing in broadcasts of the show after investigative journalist and crime reporter Peter R. de Vries was shot after leaving the show's studio in Amsterdam, Netherlands.[4][5]

In 2019, he appeared in an episode of Zomergasten.[6] In the episode he discussed the impact of living with full-time protection and the possibility of reducing it.[7] He also presented the television show Dossier Van den Heuvel in which he travels to people around the world who have become a victim of crime.[8]

He appeared as contestant in various game shows including De Jongens tegen de Meisjes (in 2011), Weet Ik Veel (in 2013) and Ik hou van Holland (in 2009 and 2012). In 2011, he also appeared in the television show House Ibiza, a television show by PowNed inspired by the format of Villa Felderhof. In 2019, he made his acting debut in the series Random Shit.[9] In that same year, he appeared as police officer in the Sinterklaasjournaal.[10] In 2020, he appeared in the Dutch version of The Masked Singer.[11]
