Police believe these images show Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi in the moments after he bought the rucksack used in his deadly attack.
One CCTV picture appears to show a sales tag hanging from the bag.
The images were taken in the Arndale shopping centre in Manchester at around 8pm last Friday, three days before the bombing in which he killed 22 people and himself.
A vivid blue flash of the rucksack's inner lining matches leaked photos apparently from the crime scene published by the New York Times.
The Arndale pictures show a man dressed in dark clothing, wearing a hoodie and baseball cap and distinctive white trainers.
It is believed Abedi was wearing similar clothes at the time of his attack, which took place at the end of an Ariana Grande pop concert at Manchester Arena.
The images are helping police piece together his movements and contacts in the days before the bombing.
Abedi, 22, a Salford university drop-out, had just flown back from visiting family in Libya.
According to Sky News sources, he withdrew £250 from a cash machine in the shopping centre on Friday night, and then bought the rucksack and also visited a supermarket to buy fruit.
Police have asked all shopkeepers in the centre to send them CCTV footage that might show in detail his movements from the night.
