Hi, my Macbook pro was stolen a few months ago. I requested an 'erase when online'. I just found the serial number, is it possible to use it to locate it?

Assuming you reported the loss to the police, you can now add that info as further help. You cannot use the serial number other than to prove a found item is the one lost. Apple do not provide a location service for machines or individuals.
