Associating old files

[DevMushref]

I am using Media Library v9. The package is newly installed to the project and there're lots of images uploaded. Is it possible to add the uploaded media to collection? Like the docs:

$yourModel = YourModel::find(1); // Maybe I can use `id` here instead of a number
$yourModel
   ->addMedia($pathToFile)
   ->toMediaCollection();

For my case I have two directories: public/app/lostFound/lostItems and public/app/lostFound/handoverStatements

This was my old code for the image upload:

if( $request->hasFile('LFImage') ) {
            $destination = public_path('app/lostFound/lostItems' . $lostFound->LFImage);
            if( File::exists($destination) )
            {
                File::delete($destination);
            }
            $file = $request->file('LFImage');
            $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
            $filename = $lostFound->LFNumber . '-' . $lostFound->lostItem . '.' . $extension;
            $file->move('app/lostFound/lostItems', $filename);
            $lostFound->LFImage = $filename;

        }
        if( $request->hasFile('handoverStatement') ) {
            $destination = public_path('app/lostFound/handoverStatements' . $lostFound->handoverStatement);
            if( File::exists($destination) )
            {
                File::delete($destination);
            }
            $file = $request->file('handoverStatement');
            $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
            $filename = $lostFound->lostItem . '-' . $lostFound->LFNumber . '.' . $extension;
            $file->move('app/lostFound/handoverStatements', $filename);
            $lostFound->handoverStatement = $filename;
        }

How can I associate the already uploaded LFImage and handoverStatement to the media collection?
